CDC MMWR News Synopsis for September 29, 2016

 

MMWR- Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

MMWR News synopsis for September 29 , 2016 

 

Adults Aged 18–64 Years Who Have a Functional Disability — United States, 2011–2014

People with disabilities are an important part of the American workforce, yet many are unemployed. The American labor-force can benefit from the talents, skills, and dedication that people with disabilities bring to the workplace. Approximately 1 in 8 (22.6 million) working-age adults have a disability, according to a recently released report, Sociodemographic Characteristics of Adults Aged 18-64 Years, by Number of Functional Disability Types – United States, 2011-2014. Fewer than half of these people with disabilities are in the labor force; that is, either working or looking for work. Among working-age adults who are in the labor force, those with a disability are twice as likely to be unemployed compared with those without disabilities.

 

Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Health Care Personnel — United States, 2015–16 Influenza

Health care personnel (HCP) should be vaccinated for flu every flu season to protect themselves, their patients, and their families from seasonal flu. Comprehensive work-site intervention strategies that include education, promotion, and easy access to vaccination at no cost for multiple days can increase HCP vaccination coverage. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all health-care personnel (HCP) be vaccinated annually against influenza. Vaccination of HCP can reduce influenza-related morbidity and mortality among HCP and their patients. Overall, 79.0% of HCP reported receiving an influenza vaccination in the 2015-16 season, similar to the 77.3% coverage among HCP reported in the 2014-15 season. Vaccination coverage continues to be higher among HCP working in hospitals (91.2%) and lower among HCP working in ambulatory (79.8%) and long-term care settings (69.2%); however, long-term care settings were the only setting in which coverage increased in 2015-16 compared with 2014-15 (an increase of 5.3 percentage points). Coverage continues to be highest among physicians (95.6%) and lowest among assistants and aides (64.1%), and highest among HCP who were required by their employer to be vaccinated (96.5%). Among HCP working in settings where vaccination was neither required, promoted, nor offered on site, vaccination coverage continues to be low (44.9%).

Dialysis organizations team up with CDC to protect patients

Coalition aims to cut infections, expand CDC prevention efforts nationwide

 

CDC is teaming up with a broad coalition of kidney and dialysis organizations to reduce the number of bloodstream infections in dialysis patients. Each year, about 37,000 people get potentially deadly bloodstream infections related to their dialysis treatment.

 

Bloodstream infections in dialysis patients could be cut in half if dialysis facilities implement CDC recommendations. For several years, facilities that have followed CDC recommendations have been successful in reducing bloodstream infections in dialysis patients. The new initiative, known as the Making Dialysis Safer for Patients Coalition, aims to significantly expand the use of CDC recommendations and tools to improve dialysis patient safety nationwide.  CDC together with CDC Foundation will host the coalition's first stakeholder meeting this month.

 

"Making evidence-based safety steps a routine part of patient care is a proven strategy to keep dialysis patients safe from bloodstream infections," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "We appreciate the new coalition of kidney and dialysis organizations stepping forward to protect the health of dialysis patients."

 

The coalition aims to decrease bloodstream infections among dialysis patients by promoting the use of CDC's Core Interventions for Dialysis Bloodstream Infection Prevention. CDC is providing facilities with a package of resources that includes checklists, audit tools, how-to videos, continuing education training, and patient resources.

 

Coalition partners have committed to educating their membership and staff, raising awareness among patients and healthcare providers about the importance of infection prevention, helping to implement CDC recommendations in dialysis facilities, and sharing best practices. The coalition is also working with dialysis delivery organizations to accelerate the implementation of CDC recommendations. Initial coalition partners include:
