Assessment of Infection Control Standards in a Tertiary Healthcare Facility in Tribal Region of West Maharashtra, Central India
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
A total of 11 infection control standards were assessed in a tertiary healthcare facility in a tribal region of Maharashtra. The aim was to identify areas with scope of improvement and suggest remedial measures to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infection. Out of the 11 standards, the rate of surgical site infections was 2.24%, while deficiency was observed in 3 standards. The total score was 10.5 on a 12-point scale, a satisfactory score. A strictly professional nursing care together with efficient administrative contribution helped in achieving a high score.
