@APIC A6. Patient safety for me is about the human right to safe care and about equity- that safe care can be delivered across resource levels. #IIPWChat

Q6: Why is #patientsafety so important to you? How can preventing infections rather than just controlling infections improve patient safety outcomes and “Move the Needle” on HAI reduction? #IIPW #IIPWChat

@APIC A 7. It allows us raise awareness and align with like-minded people across the globe. #IIPWChat

Q7: What is the importance of International Infection Prevention Week #IIPW to you / your organization? #IIPWChat

@APIC A5.Organizations can stop giving a platform to fringe figures that spread fake news, even if they generate views and engagement. Schools/universities can educate students of how to assess information and spot fake news. Individuals can work on their scientific literacy. #IIPWChat

Q5: How can organizations or individuals use #socialmedia to combat the spread of misinformation and improve #publichealth and #patientsafety outcomes? #IIPW #IIPWChat

@APIC Flexibility, scalability and resilience of healthcare systems is key, it's impossible to provide high-quality care without it. Governments must invest in natural disaster and pandemic preparedness in order for HCFs to be able to keep giving quality care in emergencies. #IIPWChat

Q3: Our hearts go out to communities affected by recent hurricanes, how can we work together to prepare for future natural disasters & improve infection prevention during disasters? #IIPWChat #IIPW

@APIC A2. I think we need to clearly communicate risks of HAIs, as well as their human and financial burdens to the general public, governments, and other key stakeholders. #IIPWChat

Q2: How can we work together to raise awareness of importance of infection prevention and use #IIPW to raise awareness of the need to better resource #IPC departments? #IIPWChat

@APIC A1. We need to realize that although sufficient quality resources and equitable access to them are key, it is possible to have very solid infection prevention with relatively simple resources, and we must prioritize the role of behavior and human factors in IPC. #IIPWChat

Q1: For the first time there is evidence to show that hospitals w/ under-resourced #IPC depts have higher rates of #HAIs – how can we “Move The Needle” on infection prevention? #IIPWChat #IIPW

Looking forward to participating and raising IPC awareness! @APIC #IIPWChat #InfectionPrevention #IIPW #CleanHospitalsDay
