最新的研究显示,运用医院AST系统(自动监测技术)可以显著增加确认和控制HAIS的效率,提高和改进实施证据为基础的感染控制措施。
Background
This research analyzes the relationship between hospital use of automated surveillance technology (AST) for identification and control of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and implementation of evidence-based infection control practices. Our hypothesis is that hospitals that use AST have made more progress implementing infection control practices than hospitals that rely on manual surveillance.
我们的研究假设:AST相对于传统的手工监测具有重要的优势,体现在实施感染措施的改进。Methods
A survey of all acute general care hospitals in California was conducted from October 2008 through January 2009. A structured computer-assisted telephone interview was conducted with the quality director of each hospital. The final sample includes 241 general acute care hospitals (response rate, 83%).
电脑为支持的电话调查。涵盖241个急性护理医院,响应率83%。Results
Approximately one third (32.4%) of California’s hospitals use AST for monitoring HAI. Adoption of AST is statistically significant and positively associated with the depth of implementation of evidence-based practices for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and ventilator-associated pneumonia and adoption of contact precautions and surgical care infection practices. Use of AST is also statistically significantly associated with the breadth of hospital implementation of evidence-based practices across all 5 targeted HAI.
目前,有接近三分之一的加利福尼亚医院运用AST监控HAI。采用AST可以显著促进和深化5项目标性HAI的控制措施(MRSA,VAP,SSI 等)。
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that hospitals using AST can achieve greater depth and breadth in implementing evidenced-based infection control practices。
