In order to further improve the emergency response capacity of nosocomial infection outbreaks, master the reporting process and prevention and control measures, improve the coordination and cooperation ability of various departments, minimize the damage caused by nosocomial infection to patients, and ensure medical safety, on the afternoon of April 29, the Infection Control Department organized an emergency response drill for suspected nosocomial infection outbreaks in the neonatal special needs ward. The drill was led and organized by the Infection Control Department, with the participation of 8 departments, including the neonatal intensive care unit, the pediatric respiratory cardiorenal department, the pediatric intensive care medicine department, the medical department, the nursing department, the laboratory department, and the pharmacy department.
The drill simulated the occurrence of 3 cases of fever, poor response, diarrhea and other manifestations within a week in the neonatal special needs ward, and suspected nosocomial infection outbreaks, and simulated scenarios from 11 links, including discovery, reporting, case verification, activation of emergency plans, medical treatment, epidemiological investigation, environmental surface monitoring and sampling, isolation, cleaning and disinfection, case tracking and monitoring, taking prevention and control measures, and summarizing and improving.
Zhang Shulin made a concluding speech. She pointed out that the emergency drill was carried out smoothly, but there were also shortcomings and continued improvements. First, the prevention and control of hospital infection is one of the core tasks of medical quality and safety, and all departments need to strengthen communication and coordination to improve the emergency response capacity of hospital infection outbreaks and public health emergencies. Second, medical personnel are the first responsible persons for discovering and reporting outbreaks of hospital infection, and they should be more vigilant and sensitive. The third is to strictly implement the system and process of hospital infection prevention and control in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and integrate the prevention and control of hospital infection into the whole process of medical services, so as to eliminate the risk of hospital infection outbreaks.
The drill promoted training and prevention through drills, improved the awareness of hospital infection prevention and control of medical staff, enhanced the emergency response ability of clinical departments and functional departments to hospital infection outbreaks, and laid a good foundation for effective prevention and control of hospital infection outbreaks and medical safety.
