Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a universal, standardized oral care protocol on prevention of non-ventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) in the acute care setting. In the course of the year-long study, the research team will provide educational and materials support for oral hygiene on two interventional units (one medical; one surgical) and two control units (one matched medical; one surgical). At the end of the study, the research team will evaluate existing hospital data to determine the number of NV-HAPs in the interventional and control groups.
