Figure 6

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.
