Screens address side room shortage.
Health Estate. 2009 Oct; 63(9):31-5.HE

Abstract

With side rooms in ever shorter supply across NHS hospitals, the Department of Health has developed an ingenious portable isolation unit that can be rapidly assembled around the bed of patients suffering infections such as those caused by MRSA and Clostridium difficile to help prevent cross-infection and simultaneously help reduce bed blocking. Recent trials at the University College Hospital in London (UCLH), alongside a range of isolation screens, saw the various systems evaluated by clinicians, staff, patients, and visitors. Jonathan Baillie reports.
