Don’t Get Stuck: A Quality Improvement Project to Reduce Perioperative Blood-Borne Pathogen Exposure - Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety: Blood-borne pathogen exposure (BBPE) represents a significant safety and resource
burden, with more than 380,000 events reported annually across hospitals in the United
States. The perioperative environment is a high-risk area for BBPE, and efforts to
reduce exposures are not well defined. A multidisciplinary group of nurses, surgical
technologists, surgeons, and employee health specialists created a BBPE prevention
bundle to reduce Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable cases.
“. . . Aunque se admita en gran medida el valor de los avances recientes en las mejoras hospitalarias, una vasta proporción del sufrimiento, y al menos algo de la mortalidad en estos establecimientos es evitable.” Florence Nightingale, 1863
