Power in numbers: using EPINet data to promote protective policies for healthcare workers.
The authors present major epidemiological findings from the EPINet multihospital research database of the International Healthcare Worker Safety Center, and discuss how the data has been used to promote protective policies for healthcare workers. The authors also take a comparative look at US, Italian, and Japanese EPINet data, and highlight key differences.
