Is your organization considering centralized surveillance for healthcare associated infections? The transfer of surveillance duties from hospital based Infection Preventionists to a centralized team of surveillance experts is a journey that may include obstacles such as unwillingness to give up the task, uncertainty of surveillance team expertise, and difficulties in developing the right team with the best fitting team members. The endeavor can be successful with a well thought out plan that includes concepts of change management and the steps of creating a vision, identifying stakeholders, quantifying time, and selling the concept to gain acceptance. This session outlines the change management steps of a hospital system’s journey to centralized surveillance. Actions taken to address potential obstacles will be presented, along with development of standard work, transparency, conflict resolution, and efficient data feedback to hospital IP programs.
