This book was released on 2016-01-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992, the United States Fire Administration (USFA) developed the Guide to Developing an Emergency Service Infection Control Program in conjunction with the National Fire Academy (NFA) field course, Infection Control for Emergency Response Personnel: The Supervisor's Role. These two major Federal initiatives were designed to provide accurate information and guidance to the emergency services regarding communicable disease infection control. Both were developed with the support and assistance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to coincide with the promulgation of 29 CFR Part 1910.1030, Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens, Final Rule. Since the original publication, many advances have occurred in the field of infection control, and all emergency services should have some form of infection control program. The initial guide focused on the development of an infection control program. The new Guide to Managing an Emergency Service Infection Control Program updates relevant information from the original 1992 guide and focuses on the management of an infection control program.

Download or read book Guidelines on Core Components of Infection Prevention and Control Programmes at the National and Acute Health Care Facility Level written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care-associated infections (HAI) are one of the most common adverse events in care delivery and a major public health problem with an impact on morbidity, mortality and quality of life. At any one time, up to 7% of patients in developed and 10% in developing countries will acquire at least one HAI. These infections also present a significant economic burden at the societal level. However, a large percentage are preventable through effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. These new guidelines on the core components of IPC programmes at the national and facility level will enhance the capacity of Member States to develop and implement effective technical and behaviour modifying interventions. They form a key part of WHO strategies to prevent current and future threats from infectious diseases such as Ebola, strengthen health service resilience, help combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and improve the overall quality of health care delivery. They are also intended to support countries in the development of their own national protocols for IPC and AMR action plans and to support health care facilities as they develop or strengthen their own approaches to IPC. These are the first international evidence-based guidelines on the core components of IPC programmes. These new WHO guidelines are applicable for any country and suitable to local adaptations, and take account of the strength of available scientific evidence, the cost and resource implications, and patient values and preferences.
