ABSTRACT
Infection prevention and control(hereinafter referred to as " infection control" )practitioners are the backbone of infection control teams of individual departments. Their capacity-building is key to improving the management efficiency at both hospital and department levels, which can effectively ensure medical safety. Since 2017, a tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospital had scored desirable results based on the analysis of the problems existing in their capacity-building. In its explorations, the hospital attempted to improve the professional competency and management ability by the following measures. These measures included improving and standardizing the organization and management, establishing an on-the-job training system, formulating an annual management manual of department′s infection control teams, implementing a cross inspection system and patrol system of the practitioners during an epidemic, establishing an assessment and evaluation system and incentive mechanism, establishing infection control elite teams, and building a mode dominated by infection control doctors. These experiences can provide reference for optimizing the capacity building of the infection control practitioners.
ABSTRACT
To investigate and step in the compliance of clinician hand hygiene, we used vari-ous management tools of the quality control circle (QCC), and then compared the change of the com-pliance before and after any operations. Firstly, we followed this 5 steps: selecting themes, drafting plans, grasping current situations, setting goals and analyzing objectives. Then, we formulated and im-plemented the interventions pertinently. All of the QCC members participated actively in the whole process. The compliance of clinician hand hygiene was improved from 41.11%to 57.59%. The realiza-tion rate was 115.97%, the progress rate was 40.99%, and the hand hygiene compliance of hand hy-giene in different time was significantly improved with the average value 1.25. Standardized result formed by quality control circle activity had a comprehensive promotion in the hospital and promoted the management of hospital infection and the development of hospital.
ABSTRACT
Objective To search for intervention strategies for upgrading existing infection control in hospitals. Methods Intervention measures include training, field study and practice guidance, as well as process evaluation and workshops, which help promote infection control in target hospitals. Results With the intervention measures called into play, the exam score of hospital leaders in hospital infection control rose from 61.6 to 71. 3 (P＜0. 05), and that of hospital care workers'(HCW) and of infection control staff's rose as well (from 65. 53 to 78. 78, and from 58. 58 to 85. 48, respectively) (P＜0. 001);the percentage of full-time staff for infection control rose from 61. 3% to 87. 5%, and the hospitals with an infection control committee rose from 15 to 20 hospitals; while the hospitals having a well-functioning infection control committee rose from 71. 4% to 95. 2%. The times of training received by HCW rose significantly (2. 2 to 3. 6 times). The average scores for the quality of infection control increased from 79. 79 to 92.43 step by step. Conclusion The general intervention in hospital infection control takes the efforts of all departments in the hospital.
