Infectious safety in polyclinic conditions
Abstract
Recently infection safety in healthcare has become emerging problem. Norms and guidelines, first of all, SANPIN, describe the basic principles of epidemiological supervision in details. Despite this, official recommendations are not completely clear to clinicians and they often follow them just in formal way. Simultaneously, lack of HAI statistic and epidemiology doesn ’t allow to consider efficacy of implemented programs, especially in outpatient facilities.What is seriously affect the HAI incidence in policlinics, which measures should medical staff take into consideration as crucial ones? This article is concentrated on these questions. We analyzed the international practice of HAI prevention in outpatient care in countries with high level of HAI registration.
