The document outlines a new reporting system for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) to ensure nursing involvement at every stage. Nurses will record patient details and signs of infection in a register format. Infection control nurses will check the register during rounds to verify any patients showing signs of HAI based on symptoms like fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, and others listed.
