Surgical Care Improvement Project
Percent of Surgery Patients with Appropriate Hair Removal
| See how Brunswick Community Hospital is doing in some key areas related to preventing surgical infections. |

Why this is important:
Preparing a patient for surgery may include removing body hair from skin in the area where the surgery will be done. Medical research has shown that shaving with a razor can increase the risk of infection. It is safer to use electric clippers or hair removal cream.
Higher percentages are better.
