ABSTRACT
Prevention of surgical site infections (SSIs) is a critical aspect of ensuring positive patient outcomes. One of the challenges of SSI prevention is the communication barrier between perioperative staff members and infection preventionists (IPs), which may lead to frontline staff members who are primarily responsible for infection prevention being unaware of pertinent hospital SSI data. To overcome this challenge, IPs and perioperative staff members should develop a partnership that facilitates the sharing of feedback on SSI case review data and effective key performance indicators. A partnership also can help engage perioperative staff members in quality improvement efforts and increase collaboration with IPs. Perioperative leaders should identify effective methods to improve data transparency, SSI case reviews, audit and feedback programs, and education for perioperative team members. A strong perioperative-IP partnership and increased sharing of data in accessible formats may improve engagement and interest in SSI prevention.
