Objective To construct a cloud-based platform for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)management based on multi-source data fusion and data visualization,and evaluate its application effectiveness.Methods A ter-tiary first-class cancer hospital was selected as the research object.Aligned with graded hospital accreditation stan-dards and based on grid-based management and responsibility zone mode,a platform was constructed in 2023 with low-code technology,multi-source data fusion,and visualization function.The self-comparison method was adopted to compare occurrence of HAI before and after the operation of the platform.A questionnaire survey was adopted to assess the experience and workload reduction feelings of full-time and part-time infection surveillance and control profe-ssionals using the platform.Results 81.56％of the surveyed respondents believed that the platform could re-duce the workload of infection surveillance and control.Compared with before the trial operation,the hospital achieved an annual reduction of 11 200 yuan in paper costs,with associated labor savings of approximately 4 482.5 hours.The incidence of HAI cases in the whole hospital decreased from 0.67％to 0.45％.The pathogen detection rate before therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents increased from 51.26％to 71.54％.Differences were both statis-tically significant(both P＜0.05).The detection number and proportion of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae(ESBL-KP)in HAI cases decreased(54.55％vs 36.47％and 51.14％vs 32.50％,respectively,both P＜0.05).Conclusion The construc-tion and application of smart HAI management cloud-based platform can reduce cost,improve management quality,and provide a theoretical basis and technical paradigm for the construction of smart HAI management system.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the causes of abnormal rising trends of isolation rate and infection of Staph-ylococcus aureus in the breast surgery department of a specialized cancer hospital.METHODS By means of pro-spective survey in combination with retrospective survey,an epidemiological survey was conducted for 5 patients with hospital-associated S.aureus infection who were treated in breast surgery department of Sun Yat-sen Univer-sity Cancer Center from Jan.2023 to Aug.2023,and the homology was observed.RESULTS The incidence rate of hospital-associated S.aureus infection(ward E 0.08％,ward F 0.38％)of the breast surgery department patients was higher during the period from Jan.2023 to Aug.2023,higher than 0.004％of the whole patients during the same period.The environmental sampling result showed that the colonized rate of S.aureus was 17.39％(4/23)and in nasal cavity 7.41％(2/27)in hands of the healthcare workers,and 28.57％in nasal cavity of logistical per-sonnel.Bundle interventions could reduce the incidence of hospital-associated methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)infection and the colonized rate in hands of the healthcare workers but had less impact on the colonized rate in the nasal cavity.The result of pulse field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)indicated that there was risk of cross transmission of colonized S.aureus between the hands of healthcare workers and the nasal cavities.The hand hy-giene,measures for contact transmission and environmental disinfection were supposed to be taken as the major links for control of the hospital-associated S.aureus infection.CONCLUSIONS The sporadic community-ac-quired infections and hospital-associated infections are the leading causes of the abnormal rise of the isolation rate and the infection rate of S.aureus in the breast surgery department.The bundle prevention and control measures can block the transmission of infections.
