The article reports on the expansion of patient safety efforts to help U.S. hospitals fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria as of December 2015. Topics discussed include stepped-up efforts in monitoring hand-hygiene, ultraviolet light (UV) disinfection in the intensive care unit, and the effort to reduce and prevent Clostridium difficile and carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections acquired during hospitalization. Also noted is the need for a coordination of safety initiatives.
