Quotes:
“Infection control kind of sticks to you like stink on a skunk.”
“Coming up with ways to motivate folks in their environment and get some buy-in and behavioral change can be extremely difficult.”
“Even if you do unannounced walk-throughs, it’s like you’re in a bubble.”
“The feedback potential that you can create by figuring out how to come up with some kind of small group or small sessions, that allow folks to voice their concerns and their opinions and ask questions is extremely important.”
“The thing that’s really motivated most of the employees that I’ve worked with lately in the large setting is trying to make them understand how this affects their patients.”
“Most laboratories…know…little to nothing about infection control.”
