Abstracts by key term: Hygiene recommendations
In health care, the transitions between inpatient and outpatient sectors pose a particular challenge. From the patient's perspective, the definition of treatment paths and their ongoing optimization along clearly defined interfaces are of essential importance. Accordingly, improving intersectoral communication and collaboration is one of the key goals of many initiatives, measures and associations. In the Baltic Sea Coast health region, HICARE1 – Action Alliance against Multi-Resistant Pathogens (MRE) – aims to implement model regional concepts and support them with health services research. From the perspective of practicing physicians*, this article aims to present challenges and perspectives in the transition of patients with colonization or infection with MRE between sectors. Suggestions for this were given by established colleagues* in the region.
