Evidence Based Practice: Infection Control

Health care professionals use five evidence-based practice steps (EBPs) as a framework for practicing to overcome barriers to identification, evaluation, and application of the best research evidence in occupational health and safety practice ) Can be used. - Infection control: Hand washing is an intervention to promote hand hygiene and is an effective measure to reduce nosocomial infection. One of the most important arguments in the current practice of evidence-based medicine is the effectiveness of manual interventions by hand in reducing hospital acquired infections.

Monitoring, evidence-based infection control techniques, and responsible use of antibiotics are considered essential for the management of HAI (Wiseman, 2006). Establishing a comprehensive monitoring plan will help establish a domestic database that may be useful for researchers investigating progress and causal factors. Evidence-based management methods can be implemented by distributing sterile hospital protocols, hospital hygiene, personal protective equipment, and biohazard sharps disposal guidelines. Review of commonly used antibiotics at appropriate doses and treatment times should also be based on clinical evidence and best practice guidance.

The first source of evidence is a comment made by "Research on Hospital Infection Control Program Based on Systematic Evaluation and Evidence" (SIGHT) (2) sponsored by the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The review was extended from 1996 to 2012 and 10 key elements of the facility level IPC program were confirmed. This review has been updated to include documents published as of November 23, 2015. An additional systematic review with the same objectives (2000 to 2015) was conducted, but the focus was on the national level. In addition, WHO has created a list of existing national and regional strategic documents and action plans based on previous research and online research repositories.
