Global Infection Prevention Gaps and Mobile Technologies For On Demand Content

Source:Colourbox
Smartphones are ubiquitous.

Kudos to my colleague Dr. Angel Desai for her recent paper on infection prevention gaps between high and low income countries.  The paper was published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, full access PDF available here.

Although disparities abound in infection prevention efforts between high and low income settings there is a common theme. Both have high mobile technology use, smartphones in particular, allowing for rapid point of care access to source specific infection prevention content.

The study was inspired by the evolving ISID Guide to Infection Prevention in the the Healthcare Setting, now web-based and freely accessible to all.
