以前一直在叫狼来啦！这真是狼来了！
我们院感人的压力会更大啦！院长的压力也更大啦！
但是，另外一方面说来：我们院感人的春天来啦！不过也这样的方式迎来我们工作的重视，显得非常的不地道！
:lol ;P ...
其实这个思路部分来是于APIC，以前是美国感染控制学会，现在把美国去掉了，希望是国际化的。更名为the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology，缩写还是APIC。
也是把患者安全引起院长真正重视，引向深入出实效的重要举措。如果我们院感人员不积极介绍给国内行政官员和医务人员这个国际新做法，有谁更合适做这桩事呢？:lol
APIC Vision 2012－The Strategy
• Leading APIC and the Profession to Its Preferred Future
• Here are just a few APIC initiatives that are designed to move the profession forward and to secure our destiny as a matter of choice rather than chance:
• Developing Standards for Public Reporting
• APIC considers the need for standards and measures so important that the Association made a clear commitment in Vision 2012 to ensure that appropriate standards are set by which infection prevention and control programs are developed, managed and evaluated. This means playing an integral role at all levels of our health care system—from the crafting of voluntary consensus standards to the development of state and federal legislation. For example, APIC was one of the primary drivers behind the groundbreaking project being undertaken by the National Quality Forum to create a standard approach to the reporting of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) data. We are also working at the state level to shape public reporting legislation. It is a key opportunity to build greater awareness of the profession and what institutions must do to prevent and reduce HAIs.
• Building the Business Case for Infection Prevention
• In April of 2006, APIC brought together a diverse group of thought leaders to explore the economics of infection prevention. There is increasing evidence that HAIs cost many institutions millions in unreimbursed expense. We are now working with key stakeholders to complete the business case. The goal is to shift the perspective of CEOs and CFOs from the traditional view of infection control as a cost center to the understanding that infection prevention can be a significant partner in profitability. We will present outcomes from these various initiatives at this year’s Annual Conference and create a tool kit for members to begin to calculate the cost of HAIs in their institutions .
• Addressing the Changing Environment
• Also in 2006, we held a conference on surveillance technology. We thought it was important to help members understand how developments in surveillance technology could impact their practice, what options were available and how to leverage the use of surveillance technology to advance infection prevention and control within the institution. We are also helping members stay abreast of emerging and reemerging diseases. In August of 2006, APIC and Joint Commission Resources will co-convene "MRSA: A Time for Action" to present the most current advancements in the management of this increasingly challenging type of infection. During the conference, ICPs and health care leaders will present proven strategies to reduce MRSA, discuss the state of the art in MRSA surveillance and developments in some state legislatures toward requiring active surveillance. The conference will highlight the unique challenges of sports-related MRSA and best practices from the United States and the Netherlands.
• Creating a Comprehensive Approach to Education
• In 2006, APIC launched Education for the Prevention of Infection (EPI), the umbrella brand for what will become a comprehensive portfolio of educational offerings for the infection prevention expert. The EPI curriculum will support the hierarchy of educational needs that the professional in this field requires from the novice ICP through seasoned expert.
• Driving the State-of-the-Science
• As part of Vision 2012, APIC will play a strong role in supporting research related to the prevention of infection and related adverse events. Recently, The Research Foundation—a division of APIC—awarded a $100,000 grant to the Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) to conduct a study on healthcare-associated infection (HAI) data. The study compared HAI data collected through traditional infection control surveillance methods and from administrative databases, which contain billing data and ICD-9 codes.
• Playing a Leadership Role in Emergency Preparedness
• Deadly natural disasters and the threat of an influenza pandemic continue to dominate news headlines. As the first line of defense, ICPs need the most up-to-the-minute information to respond appropriately. In a joint project with the CDC and SHEA, APIC is participating in building out a communications network of ICPs and epidemiologists that would operate in a variety of natural disaster situations. APIC is also a primary participant in the Working Group on Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, which has successfully advocated for pandemic preparedness plans and appropriations at the federal level. As part of this effort, APIC will conduct a second survey in collaboration with the Trust for America’s Health to explore hospital preparedness challenges at the state level.
• Promoting Zero Tolerance for Healthcare Associated Infections
• Finally, embedded in all of APIC’s initiatives is the commitment to zero tolerance for healthcare-associated infections. As clearly articulated by APIC President Kathy Arias, MS, CIC, “Zero tolerance is not a number—it’s a culture in which health care providers strive to prevent as many healthcare-associated infections as possible. We may never eliminate every infection, and many cannot be prevented. But ICPs should accept nothing less than the very lowest rates of infection and actively promote zero tolerance for the adverse outcomes of health care.” This goal is central to our preferred future and will inform all of our decisions as we make Vision 2012 a reality. |
