Failure to correctly perform high-level disinfection, or HLD, places patients at risk for exposure to and infection with pathogens, some of which are multi-drug resistant. It is challenging for perioperative personnel to keep up with the new evidence and guidelines aimed at improving safe practice. The Joint Commission also clearly highlights high-level disinfection as an area for improvement.
The question we aim to answer via this podcast is: how can we improve our disinfection practices to ensure patient safety? Information is also shared on how Mayo Clinic responds to this question and approaches the issue.
