Abstract:

The hospital acquired infections are becoming common in our hospitals lately. These infections are difficult to treat and maybe life threatening. Hospital acquired infection can be minimized or eradicated by good Infection Prevention and Control guidelines and good hand hygiene practices. The success of Infection Prevention and Control guidelines program in any hospital is largely impacted by the organizational culture. In any health care setting the management is challenged by the organizational culture to change of any kind. Where implementation of Infection Prevention and Control guidelines

Abstract:

Background: One of the strategies to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and promote the quality of disease prevention and control actions is the creation of a hospital infection control program. This program is a set of deliberately and systematically developed actions aimed toward reducing the incidence and severity of infections to the maximum extent possible. In Brazil, studies on the subject still need to be improved; they focus on structural and process assessments, especially the survey of continuing education indicators as a quality requirement for the prevention of HAIs.

Abstract:

Nosocomial infections are a serious issue in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 6–16%. These infections increase morbidity, mortality, hospital stays, and healthcare costs. Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) in hospitals is crucial to reducing the risk of transmission among patients, healthcare workers, and the community. However, IPC program implementation faces challenges such as limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and noncompliance with protocols. This literature review analyzes the implementation of IPC programs, healthcare workers' adherence to hand hygiene, and factors influen

AbstractDuring the past 30 years, many important strides have been made in the prevention of nosocomial infections in the United States. Infection control programs have been established in hospitals throughout the country. Techniques for surveillance of nosocomial infections have been developed and utilized extensively. Results of the Study on the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control (SENIC Project) and the experience with surveillance of surgical wound infections have documented the fact that surveillance is an integral component of an effective nosocomial infection control program.

Abstract:

Under prospective payment utilizing the diagnostic related groups (DRG) classification, hospital administrators have begun to rethink accepted hospital procedures. It is now necessary to consider every factor that contributes to the cost of care, because those costs will be borne more and more by the hospital rather than the patient. Administrators must determine if an expenditure really improves the quality of care and shortens the length of stay. Unfortunately, in many cases there are no mechanisms or criteria for such an evaluation. The health care industry is in danger of cutting away tiss

Health Care-Associated Infections, hereinafter abbreviated as HAIs, are infections that occur in patients during treatment in hospitals and other health care facilities where when they enter there are no infections and are not in the incubation period, including infections in the hospital but appear after patients returning home, as well as infections due to work for hospital staff and health workers related to the process of health services in health care facilities. Health Care-Associated Infection (HAIs) is a serious problem for all healthcare facilities worldwide, i

AbstractObjective:To assess the efficacy of parental education and use of parents as nursing assistants on reducing nosocomial infections.Design:Prospective study.Methods:Active surveillance for nosocomial infections was performed on two wards. On ward A, parents were educated about infection control practices and assisted nursing staff with routine tasks, so that nursing personnel could focus their efforts on procedures with higher risk of infection. Parental assistance was not sought on ward B, the comparison ward.Results:From October 1990 through September 1991, 1,081 patients were admitted

Wound infection is a typical, partly preventable complication of cesarean sections. We started extended recording of cesarean section data in October, 2008 as part of our general wound infection surveillance program. Aim: To describe the circumstances and outcomes of the sections and analyze associations between them. Methods: We analyzed 523 cases over the period October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009. Variables were assessed using descriptive statistics. Associations between explanatory factors and wound infection were evaluated using logistic regression. Results: Infections (overall rate: 3.

Infection Prevention and Control (PPI) is an endeavor to prevent and reduce the incidence of infections among patients, employees, visitors, and members of the community in health care institutions. In order to reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infections, nosocomial infection control involves planning, implementing, monitoring, and encouraging. This study's objective was to characterize infection prevention and control in the interior chamber of Prof. Dr. Aloei Saboe Gorontalo City.

Abstract:

Most US states have enacted or are considering legislation mandating hospitals to publicly report hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates. We conducted a survey of infection control professionals and found that state-legislated public reporting of HAIs is not associated with perceived improvements in infection prevention program process measures or HAI rates.

Abstract:

Nosocomial infections, or hospital-acquired infections, are complex and have multiple causes. They interfere with patient recovery, increase hospital stays, and lead to higher morbidity, mortality, and costs. The CDC estimates that a third of these infections result from not following established infection control practices. Anesthesia practices are critical in controlling the spread of these infections due to the invasive nature of procedures like catheter and airway management. Although direct cause-and-effect data is limited, most anesthesia-related infections are preventable. Anesthesia pe

Abstract:

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has created new and difficult challenges for infection control services. Limited information on the pathogenesis and means of transmission coupled with the reported high mortality rates of this disease, have heightened public fears about the potential risks resulting from exposure to AIDS. Hospitalization of these patients, with the attendant responsibilities for their care by hospital personnel, has served to focus and amplify these public concerns in a relatively small and inter-related community. The result, in some hospitals, has been an increase i

Introduction: Nosocomial infections can have significant negative consequences, including extra hospitalization days, additional costs, and even deaths, depending on the site of infection. These consequences and associated costs can be substantial, and it is important to identify patients at highest risk for infection in order to prioritize prevention and control efforts. In this review, we aimed to include all preventive, control and surveillance strategies targeting nosocomial infections.

Abstract:

While society would benefit from a reduced incidence of nosocomial infections, there is currently no direct reimbursement to hospitals for the purpose of infection control, which forces healthcare institutions to make economic decisions about funding infection control activities. Demonstrating value to administrators is an increasingly important function of the hospital epidemiologist because healthcare executives are faced with many demands and shrinking budgets.
