Program-focus standards describe the organization’s responsibilities for determining the focus of the IPC program. These requirements emphasize that the organization design and implement a coordinated and comprehensive program and plan to reduce the risks of HAIs for patient and HCWs. Safe, high-quality care for patients and safe work environment for employees are intertwined because employees and patients who become infected can transmit the infection to other patient or HCWs. These standards imply a close working relationship the IPC and employee health services.项目要点标准描述医疗机构决定感染预防控制项目要点的职责。这些要求强调医疗机构要设计和实施一个协调而广泛的项目和计划去降低医院感染对病人和医务人员的风险。为病人营造安全、高质量的治疗和为员工营造安全的工作环境是错综复杂的,因为在医疗机构,员工和病人都可能被感染,且传播感染给其他的病人或医务人员。这些标准意味着感染预防控制与员工的医疗服务是紧密联系在一起的工作。Under these standards, the IPC program is guided by a plan that addresses infection issues that are epidemiologically important to the organization. This requires assessing risks and key issues that pertain to particular infections, populations, environment, and other factors that are specific to the organization. In addition, the standard requires that the IPC program be designed to be appropriate to the organization’s size, geographic location, services, and patient. A facility that treats primarily trauma patient rather than pediatric or cancer patients or is an ambulatory care center rather than an acute inpatient facility must address the issues most relevant to its patients, services, and setting. Organizations in very rural settings may have challenges that differ from those of facilities in urban settings. Conditions that should be considered in assessing geographic and environmental influence on infection include the following:根据这些标准,感染预防控制项目是指导医疗机构控制感染问题的重大流行病学计划。必须评估医疗机构中有关特殊的感染、总体、环境及其他因素等特殊风险和重要问题。另一方面,标准要求感染预防控制项目的设计要适合机构的大小、地理位置、服务类型和病人。一个机构治疗的主要是外伤病人而不是儿科或肿瘤病人,或一个门诊治疗中心而不是急诊住院机构,要解决的问题必须与它的病人、服务类型和设施相关。设置在很远的乡村机构所面临的挑战与那些设置在城市的机构是不同的。评估地理和环境对感染的影响,应考虑以下几方面的条件:●Natural environmental disruptions—floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other events●自然环境的破坏—洪水、飓风、地震和其他事件●Temperature variations—tropical versus cold●气候变化—热带遇到冷空气●Vector density—mosquitoes, rodents●媒介物密度—蚊虫、啮齿动物●Contaminated water sources or lack of water●污染水资源或缺水●Ecological changes—deforestation, global warming, air pollution, and so forth●生态变化—砍伐森林、全球变暖、空气污染等等●War, migrations, displaced persons●战争、迁移、难民●Urban versus rural—congested housing versus agricultural environments●城市与乡村—拥挤的房屋与农业环境●Availability, lack of, or disruption of services●可用的,服务的缺乏或破坏Another key element of the requirements is that the IPC program include surveillance activities that are proactive and systematic. Surveillance (see Box 3-2) or the observing of practice and collecting of infection data, is essential to identify endemic (usual) infection and outbreaks (unusual infections or numbers of infections above the usual endemic rates). Not only must the surveillance activities help the IPC professionals identify ongoing or unusual infections, but the IPC program must have the capability to investigate infection clusters or outbreak to identify which infections are occurring and why, the source, the source, the mode of transmission, processes contributing to the infections, and potential solution to resolve the outbreak and to stop the infections. Once this information is clear, it should be used to implement prevention strategies that will prevent the recurrence of the infection in the future.JCI要求的另一个重要要素是要求感染预防控制项目包含监测活动要有前瞻性和系统性。对过程的监测(见插入框3-1)或观察和感染资料收集,基本上要确定是地方性(一般地)感染还是暴发(不寻常的感染或感染的数量高于一般地方性的比率)。必要的监测活动不仅帮助感染预防控制专业人员识别平常的或不寻常的感染,而且感染预防控制项目能调查确定感染发生聚集或暴发的原因、感染源、传播方式、导致感染的过程、解决暴发和控制感染的潜在办法。一旦信息清晰,将能实施预防策略,预防将来感染的再发生。
