Episode 16 Changing attitudes: Creating a culture of accountability in infection control RSS feed E-mail alerts Denise Murphy, MPH, BSN, RN, CIC, vice president for safety and quality at Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, and immediate past president of the Association of Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), has spent her career working to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals ranging from 200 to 1,200 beds. As a member of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Hospital Infection Control Practice Advisory Council, she helps shape national policy aimed at reducing HAIs. This summer, APIC announced its “Targeting Zero” initiative aimed at reshaping hospital culture to recognize that even one HAI is one too many. In this podcast, Murphy speaks about how a focus on personal accountability created such a culture shift at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and how it has impacted HAI rates.
