    Infection Control in Modern Hospitals

    Uploaded by

    Moh Yousif
    This document discusses infection control processes in hospitals. It states that process of care measures provide indicators for performance improvement and reducing healthcare-associated infections. Key principles for effective infection control include measuring compliance through feedback, and using active interventions to change compliance. Guidelines for infection control processes come from organizations like the CDC and WHO. Ignoring these principles can result in not following best practices and poorer patient safety.

    WHAT IS
    Process of
    Care
    • Process of care refers to an
    evidence based action or
    intervention performed during
    the delivery of patient care.
    Process of care measures reflect
    a healthcare facilities' ability to
    execute and comply with
    recommended best patient care
    practices.
    5/31/2018 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 2
    WHAT IS
    Infection control
    process
    • Infection control process
    measures provide
    actionable and
    measurable indicators
    for performance
    improvement, and
    provide opportunities to
    reduce risk healthcare
    associated infections
    (HAIs).

    •
    Measurement
    and feedback
    compliance

    • Active

    What process of care
    principles are necessary
    for effective infection
    control?

    • Key principles related to


    process of care measures
    are:
    • Measurement and
    feedback impact
    compliance
    • Active interventions are
    required to produce a
    change in compliance
    5/31/2018 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9
    Key principles related to
    process of care
    measures are:

    • Different feedback strategies


    may lead to distinctively
    different outcomes
    • Measuring the benefit seen
    by the improvement in the
    process can result in
    improved HAI rates

    Need for feed back
    on Infection
    matters
    • Different feedback
    strategies may lead
    to distinctively
    different outcomes
    • Measuring the
    benefit seen by the
    improvement in the
    process can result in
    improved HAI rates
    5/31/2018 D 11
    What are the consequences
    of ignoring key process of
    care principles regarding
    infection control?
    • Noncompliance with
    nationally recognized
    guidelines (e.g., CDC's NHSN
    Guidelines, AORN Standards,
    etc.) with evidence based
    recommended for infection
    control practices (e.g., hand
    hygiene, surgical antibiotic
    prophylaxis, central venous
    and urinary catheter
    insertion and maintenance)
    results in suboptimal patient
    safety and clinical care.

    5/31/2018 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
    Current
    Controversies
    on Surveillance
    • Controversy exists as to
    whether meticulous
    surveillance and feedback
    of process of care measures
    will fully increase
    adherence to recommended
    best practices and result in
    a concomitant reduction or
    eliminating HAIs.
    5/31/2018 13
    Applications of
    Interventions
    • Application
    interventions from
    observational
    studies remain
    controversial.
    Potential biases in
    the original clinical
    outcome studies
    are a concern.
    5/31/2018 14
    • Owing to the
    diversity of both
    process of care
    study designs and
    populations, definitive
    conclusions are
    problematic and results
    may not be generalized
    to all patient
    populations.

    5/31/2018 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 15
    What national and international guidelines exist for
    process of care measures and infection control?
    • The most significant International Guidelines that
    include process of care measures for infection
    control are written by the World Health
    Organization (e.g., Practical Guidelines for
    Infection Control in Health Care Facilities and
    Hand Hygiene, etc.) and nationally the Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Hospital
    Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee
    (HICPAC)
    5/31/2018 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 16
    Regulation on Hand Hygiene
    • Guidelines for Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Facilities).
    Professional organizations that have contributed
    guidelines or position papers include: the Association of
    Professional in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC),
    the Society of Healthcare Epidemiology of America
    (SHEA), the Surgical Infection Society (SIC), the Infectious
    Disease Socity of America (IDSA), the Pediatric Infectious
    Disease Society (PIDS), as well as governmental and
    regulatory agencies including: the Centers for Medicare
    and Medicaid (CMS),

    SAFETY
    RECOMMENDATION BY
    OSHA
    •
    The Joint Commission (TJC),
    and the Occupational Safety
    and Health Organization
    (OSHA) all with a focus on HAI
    control and prevention use the
    expertise of their members and
    staff to develop and publish a
    wide variety of useful
    recommendations and
    guidelines containing process
    measures for infection control.
    5/31/2018 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 18
    WHY THE WORLD SWITICHING TO CDC
    GUIDELINES ON HEALTH CARE SAFETY
    • The CDC Guidelines and
    Professional Societies' consensus
    papers are developed from review
    of the evidence-based literature,
    and provide the basis on which
    standards process of care
    measures are used for developing
    institutional healthcare policies
    and procedures. The use of
    process measures as performance
    indicators has been proposed in
    HICPAC CDC Guidelines.
    5/31/2018 19
    • Noncompliance with
    nationally recognized
    guidelines (e.g., CDC's
    NHSN Guidelines,
    AORN Standards, etc.)
    with evidence based
    recommended for
    infection control
    practices (e.g., hand
    hygiene, surgical
    antibiotic prophylaxis,
    central venous and
    urinary catheter
    insertion and
    What are the consequences of maintenance) results in
    ignoring key process of care suboptimal patient
    safety and clinical care.
