Patient transfer patterns and the spread of hospital-acquired infections in subnetworks of a country: an example of federal states in Germany

2023-06-06

Abstract excerpt

Pathogens typically responsible for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) constitute a major threat to healthcare systems worldwide. They spread via hospital (or hospital-community) networks by readmissions or patient transfers. Therefore, knowledge of these networks is essential to develop and test strategies to mitigate and control the HAI spread. Until now, no methods for comparing healthcare networks across diff...
