Digital Press Kit: Impact of Unsafe Injection Practices
| Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.
Injection safety is part of the minimum expectation for safe care anywhere healthcare is delivered; yet, CDC has had to investigate numerous outbreaks of life-threatening infections caused by injection errors. Since 2001, at least 150,000 U.S. patients have been negatively impacted by unsafe medical injections. When healthcare providers fail to follow basic infection control practices during injection preparation and administration, patients can be exposed to life-threatening illnesses such as hepatitis and/or bacterial infections. To assist you in covering this important topic, CDC is releasing a digital press kit about the impact of unsafe injection practices in U.S. healthcare settings. The digital press kit includes fact sheets, an infographic, videos and podcasts, and quotes from CDC experts. View DPK In addition, to further educate healthcare providers about safe injection practices, CDC is releasing several new educational pieces today.
