	Infection Control Assessment Tool for Primary Health Care Facilities SIAPS USAID (2013) C1 View PDF(1640) Download (1551) Add to my MEDBOX Nosocomial or health-facility-acquired infections are a serious issue, representing one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality in healthcare systems and consuming many scarce resources, especially in developing countries. Although much has been done, particularly in the hospital setting, to reduce the risk of these infections, the problem persists and demands innovative and cost-efficient solutions. Although the care provided in most primary health care facilities is predominantly ambulatory with few or no inpatient beds, infection prevention is still important to minimize or eliminate the risks of facility-acquired infections and assure quality patient care. Health facilities and hospitals should have written infection control procedures and guidelines in place and should also be monitoring that these procedures are adhered to in both inpatient and ambulatory care settings Tags: primary health care, Assessment, infection control, Hospital hygiene, nosocomial infections, Source: http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/documen
