“…64,65 Crucially, longer lengths of stay are a risk factor for nosocomial infections, venous thromboembolism, pressure injuries, immobility, adverse drug reactions, malnutrition, and deconditioning. [65][66][67][68][69] Outpatient investigations should be arranged when possible, if good follow-up can be assured.…”

Background: Resident doctors are integral to healthcare delivery in Canada. Engaging residents in resource stewardship is important for professional development, but also as they are drivers of healthcare resource use. To date, no national resident-specific resource stewardship guideline has been developed. Resident Doctors of Canada (RDoC) in collaboration with Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) sought to develop an evidence-informed, consensus-based list of five recommendations to promote resource stewardship. Methods: RDoC convened a taskforce with diverse geographic and specialty representation to develop candidate recommendations targeting resident resource stewardship behaviours using a consensus-based process, supported by a literature review. Residents across the country provided feedback on the candidate recommendations via an online questionnaire. The taskforce used this feedback to finalize the list.Results: The taskforce prepared 28 candidate recommendations for consideration. A detailed literature review and consensus process narrowed this list to 12 candidate recommendations for consultation. A total of 754 residents (754/10,068 residents = 7.5%) representing all provinces and levels of residency training reviewed and ranked the candidate recommendations. The highest-ranked recommendations comprised the final list.Conclusion: Resident doctors are willing and able to demonstrate leadership in advancing resource stewardship by the development of a national resident-specific list of Choosing Wisely Canada recommendations.

“…High-risk stuations for acquiring hospital-acquired infections Numerous risk factors are there which predispose a host to acquire HAIs which include low body resistance as in infancy and old age, serious underlying illnesses, major surgeries [21] , immune deficiency states [22] and prolonged hospital stay [23] .Various areas are there in the hospital which carry a greater risk of patients acquiring HAI's [24,25] . These include intensive care unit, dialysis unit, organ transplant unit, burns unit, operation theatres, delivery rooms, post-operative wards.…”

“…Each healthcare facility needs to develop an infection control programme to ensure the well being of both patients and staff. 14 It also needs to work on developing an annual work plan to assess and promote good health care, and provide sufficient resources to support the infection control programme.…”
