From: Reorganization of nurse scheduling reduces the risk of healthcare associated infections

Impact of intervention through reorganization of nurse scheduling. (a) HAI risk reduction in the hospital ward achieved with the reorganization of nurse scheduling in the models \({S}_{-1},{S}_{+1},{{WS}_{-1},WS}_{+1}\), compared to the empirical situation. Boxplots indicate the median, interquartile range and 95% CI of the risk reduction, accounting for the stochasticity of the exchange (results from 50 random trials). (b) Percentage of contact duration to be removed in the nurse-nurse interactions so that the intervention through contact removal would achieve the same risk reductions of panel (a) (obtained through the reorganization of nurse scheduling). \({S}_{-1}\) is not shown as it has a negative impact on the risk.
