Why NHSN and Surveillance Work Were Never Meant to Fully Fall on IPs - Maureen Spencer

Описание: In this clip, Maureen Spencer talks about one of the biggest shifts that changed the day-to-day work of Infection Prevention: the way surveillance and NHSN-related work ended up sitting heavily on IP teams. She explains that when she asked directly why this happened, the answer she got was that it was never really intended to work that way. The original vision included data analysts, not highly trained IPs spending their time buried in data entry.

This segment will resonate with a lot of Infection Preventionists because it speaks directly to the tension between surveillance demands and the broader role of the IP as an educator, consultant, investigator, and change agent. Maureen also explains how she approached this differently in her own work, using support staff for data handling while she focused on investigation and interpretation. It is a sharp and very relevant clip about how the profession’s work got reshaped.
