Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current situation of healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) management of fever clinics among different levels of medical institutions in Wuhan, and to provide a scientific basis for improving hospital infection management. Methods In January 2023, a network questionnaire survey was conducted on medical institutions with fever clinics in Wuhan. Results A total of 72 medical institutions were investigated, of which 58.33% had CT, and 48.61% had fever clinics for children. The total qualified rate of HCAI management was 78.28%. The qualified rates of four primary indicators, including hospital management, diagnosis and treatment environment protection, training and education, and implementation of infection control measures, were 82.27%, 71.49%, 75.93%, and 81.31%, respectively. There were statistical differences among different levels of medical institutions (all P<0.01). Among the 13 secondary indicators, the qualified rates of 7 indicators were more than 80%, with the highest being medical item management (93.06%), medical waste disposal (89.72%), and personnel management (83.33%), and the lowest being facilities and equipment (66.32%), and patients and accompanying personnel education (66.67%). Among the 65 tertiary indicators, 30 had a pass rate great than 80%. Conclusion Wuhan actively promotes the construction of fever clinics in medical institutions, and the overall situation of HCAI management is good. However, there are still some problems to varying degrees, especially in the layout procedures, hand hygiene, and staff training of fever clinics in secondary and lower medical institutions, which should be further strengthened.
