Presentation description

The BASIC Study is an investigation into implementation strategies of evidence-based practices that can overcome the barriers that prevent the adoption of practices that decrease the transmission of the ESKAPE pathogens. These practices, often referred to as "The 4 Pillars," include hand hygiene, intravascular catheter handling, environmental cleaning, and patient decolonization. Each one is designed to decrease pathogen transmission in the operating room to protect the patient from infection.
