December 27, 2016 The neighborhood effect:
sicker patients draw on shared resources The researchers found that when one
patient on a typical 20 - bed hospital unit took a turn for the
worse — a cardiac arrest, for example, or being transferred to an intensive - care unit — the other
patients on that ward were at increased risk for their own setbacks.
So if coming to work when
sick is
bad for the
patient's health, and equally as detrimental to the business's bottom line, why do we continue to do it?
