Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
It is apparent that there have been many advances in knowledge and techniques in the area of infection control and prevention. In addition to the common law duty of property owners toward business invitees and applicable governmental regulations, we can expect the courts to look to these developments for guidance in measuring the conduct of nursing homes and their employees in infection cases. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to the nursing home industry that appropriate attention and resources be devoted to infection control in order to accomplish adequate prevention and control, and in order to avoid civil liability. |
