Achieve Your Targets for Improving Patient Safety, Reducing Costs and Decreasing Surgical Wait Times

Surgical site infections have a devastating effect on patient safety and hospital budgets.

Collatamp G can help.

You know the sobering statistics:

• Patients with surgical site infections are twice as likely to die and much more likely to require intensive care, while averaging 8.2 more days in hospital than other patients.
• Patients with surgical site infections are more likely to be readmitted, are at higher risk of repeat or revision surgery and during their prolonged hospital stay consume 51% more nursing resources than uninfected patients.
• Surgical site infections can cost your hospital more than $4,000 per patient in care and resources alone—not including the cost of additional surgeries and supplies.

Despite current best practice implementation:

• Overall, an estimated 50,000 surgical site infections in Canada each year burden our healthcare system with more than $200 million in largely preventable annual costs.
• Surgical site infections cause over 400,000 additional hospital days annually, backlogging the healthcare system and negatively impact surgical throughput  and wait-times.

Taking every reasonable precaution to reduce the burden of surgical site infections is key to providing the best possible care for patients at high risk for developing a surgical site infection. It's the responsible approach to reducing hospital costs.

Collatamp G is part of the solution for dealing with today’s healthcare challenges. It represents an important breakthrough in the ongoing battle to prevent surgical site infections and treat stubborn local infections.
