From: Reorganization of nurse scheduling reduces the risk of healthcare associated infections
Impact of intervention through isolation or contact removals. (a) Median percentage of contact duration removed within the class (red line) or of the full timeline (grey bars) once 8 individuals in each class are isolated, corresponding to 28% of patients (P), 30% of nurses (N), 73% of doctors (D), and 100% of administrative staff (A). (b) Median percentage of contact duration removed among links established by nurses with other classes [grey bars, with patients (PN), with nurses (NN), with doctors (ND), with administrative staff (NA)], once 5% of the total contact duration of the full timeline is removed (red line). (c,d) HAI risk reduction in the hospital ward achieved through isolation (c) or contact removal (d) corresponding to the results of panels (a) and (b), respectively. Boxplots indicate the median, interquartile range and 95% CI of the risk reduction, accounting for the stochasticity of the interventions (results from 20 random trials).
