Abstract

Hospital Infection control is very essential for the safety and wellbeing of patients, hospital staffs and visitors of the hospital. It affects various Departments of the hospital and it also involves problems of quality risk management, clinical governance of health and safety. Many factors stimulate infections among hospitalized patients – ‘decreased resistance among patients’; ‘increasing variation of medical procedures’ and ‘invasive techniques crafting potential routes of infection’; and ‘the transmission of drug-resistant bacteria’ are packed among hospital populations’, where poor practice in infection control may facilitate transmission. Audit means checking actual practice against a standard; it should permit reporting of noncompliance or issues of concern by either healthcare workers (HCW) or the Infection Control Team (ICT). Providing results of the audit to staff enables them to identify where improvement is needed.1 Audit is a quality improvement process that seeks to improve patient care and outcomes through systematic review of care compared with explicit criteria and the subsequent implementation of change.
卫生保健工作者感染控制实践的审计:感染预防护士的视角
医院感染控制对患者、医院工作人员和医院访客的安全和健康至关重要。它影响到医院的各个部门,也涉及到质量风险管理、临床健康安全治理等问题。许多因素刺激住院患者感染——“患者抵抗力下降”;“医疗程序越来越多样化”和“侵入性技术制造潜在的感染途径”;而且“耐药细菌的传播”集中在医院人群中,在那里,不良的感染控制措施可能促进传播。审核是指根据标准检查实际操作;它应该允许卫生保健工作者(HCW)或感染控制小组(ICT)报告不合规或关注的问题。向员工提供审核结果,使他们能够识别需要改进的地方。审计是一种质量改进过程,旨在通过与明确的标准和随后的实施变化相比较的护理系统审查来改善患者护理和结果。
