Page 2: Patient safety and infection control

Infection control...

Protection of those vulnerable to infection

Hygiene basic principle

(Image taken from Clipart).

Page 3: Patient safety and infection control

Nosocomial infection

Acquired in hospital or health-care setting AND: Patient admitted

for reason other than that infection

Infection was not present or incubating at time of admission

(Image taken from Clipart).

Page 4: Patient safety and infection control

Semmelweis

(Best & Neuhauser, 2004).

Page 5: Patient safety and infection control

So basically...

Contact with an

infectious patient

Inadequate infection

control

Transferral of bacteria

to next patient

Page 6: Patient safety and infection control

Hand hygiene

(WHO, 2009).

Page 7: Patient safety and infection control

Why?

Page 8: Patient safety and infection control

20–30% of hospital-acquired infections are considered preventable by utilising hygiene and control programmes!!!!

(European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2011).

Page 9: Patient safety and infection control

The literature...

the lack of imperative or precise wording

The lack of easily identifiable instructions specific to each profession

the lack of concrete performance targets

the lack of timely and adequate guidance on personal protective equipment and other safety measures

Page 10: Patient safety and infection control

More literature...

Page 11: Patient safety and infection control

A little more literature...

Skills and curriculum for training of infection-control professionals

Ratio of infection-control professionals to workload

Strategies for implementation

Page 12: Patient safety and infection control

Where does the responsibility lie?

Management Infection control teams Physicians Microbiologists Pharmacists Nursing staff Sterilization staff Food, laundry and housekeeping services Visitors
