Episode: Patient safety in focus: Helping to address risk factors associated with non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia
Description: In this special sponsored episode, we explore the critical issue of non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP), the most common hospital-acquired infection. Dr. Barbara Quinn, a board-certified adult clinical nursing specialist with 30 years of experience, and Elias Coury, market director of quality and risk at Havasu Regional Medical Center and Valley View Medical Center, shed light on the underrecognized impact of NV-HAP. They discuss why prevention efforts often focus on ventilator-associated pneumonia, the role of oral care protocols, and practical strategies to improve patient safety and hospital outcomes.
