Setting/Sample
Patients with hospitals acquired infection who have stayed longer are treated with antibiotics to monitor progress of the recovery
Hospitals patients whose term has been overdue are the set up to the research.
Hospital settings where patients have stayed not as the doctor had earlier indicated
Hospital environment where patients are located with recurrence illness opposite from what they have been diagnosed with during their initial visit.
Methods: Intervention/Instruments
Patients records is recorded at every stage of inspection to ascertain the medical records and the disease he/she suffers
Focus groups and nurses were deployed within the hospital environment
Hospital database that contain patients records was the source of information for the research
Medical related treatments are initially tried to treat patients just in case of recurrence of the diseases samples are tested for various diseases
Analysis
Antibiotics was tested if there was a chance to reduce rate of infections in hospitals leading to substantial costs in medication
Analysis is based on the different strategies that are deployed in the field to reduce hospital acquired infection and the best results is chosen
Step by step of reviewing information detailing patient’s records and what are the trends that are noticeable to develop a strategy to reduce infection.
The analysis was conducted with an aim of finding s new type of illnesses that has emerged during patients stay while in the hospital. Samples of blood were identified for pathogens or level of nutrients.
Key Findings
Hospitals collaboration among departments provides information on patient progress while reducing infection of patients.
Doctors are the source of hospital acquired infection. Patient lack of information within a hospital environment can lead to acquired infection.
There are infections that patients acquire while hospitals. Medical practitioner is also vulnerable to diseases.
Recommendations
It is important to advise doctors to use antibiotics for diagnosed infection from a hospital set up.
Nurses and patients are expected to be informed on how to reduce hospital acquired infection through medical related practices.
Patients and medical practitioners should be well informed and with the right resources to ensure rate of hospital infection is reduced.
Medical practitioner is expected to understand various illnesses acquired in hospitals so as to have the right information during treatment hence enriching the literature while conducting research.

Hospitals acquired infection data and statistics
2014
Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative), and Purposes/Aim of Study
Medical institutions associated with hospital acquired information.
To provide information to the public on the state of medical institutions affected by hospital acquired infection.
Types of healthcare associated infection and intervention
To educate healthcare professionals on what interventions can be applied in reducing hospitals acquired infection.
What strategies short term can be implemented to prevent hospital acquired infection?
To offer medical practitioners strategies to prevent nosocomial rate in medical institutions.
What is the statistics on hospitals infection rate?
What is the number of patients suffering from hospital acquired infection?
To provide medical practitioner and planners the correct data illustrating hospital acquired infection rate.
Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)
The research comprised of qualitative and quantitative approach in order to collect information exhaustively within the state medical institutions. Data analysis numerically as well as interviews and observations was incorporated.
Qualitative methods of research are applied in the study in order to observe, interview and developing focus groups to gain more insights.
Qualitative and quantitative methodologies are applied in identifying challenges and analyzing data through statistical approach from data collected in medical institutions.
Quantitative methodologies are applied in analyzing statistics in understandable format to medical practitioners.
Setting/Sample
Medical records were chosen from various hospitals for research
Hospitals in developed countries were the settings for the research.
Clinicians are allocated focus groups within medical institutions in order to come up with information regarding hospitals acquired infections.
Random medical institutions are chosen for the study with selected database
Methods: Intervention/Instruments
Random hospitals were chosen by the nurses for the study. Medical records would be taken to record various non-infection identified.
Hospitals database was used as a resource in collecting information of patient’s treatment. Focused group was analyzed for a comprehensive report.
Willing participation of focus groups and the nursing team to address hospital acquired infection. Monitoring as well as surveillance mechanism was deployed during the study to compile a comprehensive statement.
Database illustrating patient’s records is collected for various medical institutions. Rate of infections are recorded with various timeline reported.
Analysis
Hospitals data was identified and analyzed to report on the rate of infection as compared to other medical institutions around the country.
Report on patient’s illnesses recurrence is analyzed and what were the characteristics of the patients during that period. Interventions that have been tested to medically assist patients during infections are applied to reduce nosocomial.
Standards procedures were tested during the research to prove if the results were different. Data collected was analyzed through scientific manner which include statistical methods to develop a comprehensive report.
A trend in rate of infection is analyzed in manner that can make sense to clinicians and hospitals administrators. Tabulation of data is arranged in a scientific manner.
Key Findings
Rate of infections differs within different medical institutions. In all institutions there were reports of hospital acquired infections among patients and nurses.
Hospital acquired infection can be eliminated once medical practitioner ensures hygienic conditions are prioritized during treatment.
Lack of hygiene increases the chance for hospital acquired infection.
Lack of patient information impedes quick recovery of patients hence an individual is vulnerable to infections within the hospital environment.
Bloodstream infection is the highest rate of illnesses that as reported at 50% followed by surgical site infection at 17%. Steps can be taken to eliminate the rate of infection through proper data analysis for resource allocations.
Recommendations
Medical institutions need to be funded to ensure they address medical related infections during a patients stay in hospitals. Proper information on how to reduce nosocomial is vital to reduce infection rate.
Hygiene checklists should be prioritized during treatment to reduce hospital infections hence quicker patients’ recovery.
The research should categorize patients based on their sex in order to ascertain the rate of hospital acquired infection.
To conduct proper data and statistics analysis informed personnel from the medical team to data analysts must have basic statistics information in order to grasp information presented.
