Today we speak with Dian Baker (Ph.D., RN, APRN-BC).

Dian has been a thought leader in pneumonia prevention in the hospital, and her work has highlighted hospital-acquired pneumonia, the #1 hospital-acquired infection, as an underrepresented problem in hospitals across the country. During our conversation, we talk about the importance of mobility when it comes to preventing pneumonia in the hospital and some of the simple steps that bedside caregivers can take in order to improve outcomes.
