ABSTRACT
Objective: To discuss the application of failure mode and effect analysis to improve the hand hygiene compliance of medical staff in eye hospital. Methods: To form failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) quality control team. By using FMEA method of risk management, to analyze the risk factors of hand hygiene compliance of medical staff in eye hospital. By performing analysis, to determine the high risk factors, develop and implement the improvement measures to reduce the risk of these factors. Results: the awareness rate of hand hygiene knowledge was increased significantly after the implementation of failure mode and effect analysis (P<0.01) , the correct rate of hand-washing method, and the implementing rate of 5 hand hygiene were increased significantly (P<0.05) . After the implementation of FMEA, the usage amount of hand washing liquid and quick hand disinfectant was increased from 13 292 ml to 28 390 ml, and difference of the hand hygiene qualification rate was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The application of FMEA contributes to analyze the causes of hand hygiene failure, and guide the development of improvement measures, which can effectively improve the hand hygiene compliance of medical staff, thereby reducing nosocomial infection.
