Information Technology
A software is developed and once integrated with the databases of the laboratories, can carry out a systematic and real-time research of the possible epidemic events, of the warning/alert events which can thus precociously activate the necessary precautions to limit infectious events.At the same time, it can periodically control antibiotic-resistance and infection prevalence.
![Page 11: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Information Technology
This software is made up of three components: 1. Import, which imports data in real time through a
connection to the data-base of the laboratory; 2. Elaboration, which filters the alarms on the basis of the
established rules;3. Report, which produces the report according to the
queries defined by the user These data are sent to the ward in electronic format using the visualisation system of the laboratory reports and, at the same time, a notification file is produced for the infection control unit.
![Page 12: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Information Technology
In the second phase of the process, the wards give the notification with the clinical information back to the laboratory and it is filed in a normalised and standardised data structure for a real-time monitoring which also constitutes a historical database for longer periods.The described system has proved able to increase the monitoring, control, treatment and prevention power against hospital infections

Infection Control using Genetic Technology
• MITSUDA TOSHIHIRO 2006 described Infection control using genetic technology.
• He describes genetic screening methods in the infectious disease region, and trends of the world in countermeasures against multiple drug resistant microbes
![Page 14: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Data Mining Technology
• Improving Infection Control Surveillance Using Data Mining Technology.
• The use of Data Mining Surveillance Service (DMSS, patent-pending, MedMined, Inc) as an aid to infection control (IC) surveillance in the Birmingham VAMC was investigated.
• Results from the retrospective study are very encouraging and suggest that DMSS analysis may add significant value to infection control within the VA.
![Page 15: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Statistical Calculator for Epidemiology
• EpiTool v. 1.03A Handheld Statistical Calculator for Epidemiology
• It is a tool for performing basic statistical analysis of exposure and outcomes on Palm and PalmOS-based (e.g. Handspring) handheld computers.
![Page 16: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Education and Training2nd
![Page 17: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Education and Training
• Staff should be familiar with the elements of their organization’s infection prevention and control program.
• This requires institutional level orientation in addition to departmental, work-area, and job specific educational interventions.
![Page 18: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Education and Training
Using computer technology to deliver an infection control update on hand hygiene
• Media coverage of life-threatening hospital infections highlights the importance of ongoing infection control education for healthcare workers.
• Using computer technology to deliver infection control updates to healthcare workers has the advantage of being accessible throughout the 24-hour shift pattern.
• The update can therefore be undertaken at a time to suit the healthcare worker and their workload.
![Page 19: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Education and Training
• A.M. Columbine and H.J. Wharrad 2007 described the development process required to produce a computer-aided learning (CAL) package on hand hygiene, suitable for use as an infection control update for hospital nurses.
• It was trialled by 12 nurses who found it an enjoyable and acceptable method of updating.
![Page 20: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
De 'MEDICI Systems
• De 'MEDICI Systems, Palo Alto, Calif., is a new computer-assisted learning system designed to help health care facilities comply with new Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and reduce incidences of AIDS and hepatitis B.
• The mobile education workstation, "Preventing AIDS and Hepatitis B in the Workplace," uses a computer to guide health care workers through infection control procedures and regulations.
![Page 21: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
De 'MEDICI Systems
• The unit provides 16 learning tracks geared for everyone from laundry and cleaning personnel to phlebotomists and therapists, according to Kenneth Coleman, president. The system also records employee training sessions and can print out training logs, he said.
![Page 22: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
De 'MEDICI Systems
• The program takes most employees about 22 minutes to run, reducing the need to hire temporary replacements for staff attending infection education seminars, he said.
![Page 23: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Education on the Road
• Kimberly Clark Health Care — mobile education, part of a 30-city mobile tour, visiting 39 hospitals in eight months via the HAI Education Bus.
• The 45-foot-long bus houses a mobile classroom outfitted with all of the modern accoutrements necessary to teach busy HCWs on the go.
![Page 24: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Kimberly-Clark is helping by delivering these courses directly to the hospital’s front door through the HAI Education Bus tour.
• On the bus, busy physicians and nurses can reinforce their knowledge of HAIs through interactive education programs that fit their schedules. Through individual computer workstations, satellite Internet connectivity and online educational courses.

• The bus can also offer onsite access to expert speakers, group presentations and round-table discussions that cover a range of infection prevention topics, including: – Infection management, wound care and post-operative healing – Preventing airborne infectious diseases and bloodstream
infections – Reducing the risk of oral infection or ventilator-associated
pneumonia – The role of nursing in diagnosing and treating pneumonia and
infection – Discussing HAIs with patients and what patients can do to reduce
HAIs

Antibiotic-resistance
• Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms are a growing threat in healthcare settings.
• More than seventy percent (70%) of the bacteria that cause healthcare-associated infections are resistant to at least one of the drugs most commonly used to treat them
![Page 29: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Communication with Dental Lab
• Is essential between lab and dental office– To ensure proper procedures are followed
• Clearly describe requirements for case submission• Specifically delineate responsibilities• Personnel must understand the proper steps to ensure
disinfection of materials entering lab• Reason: to prevent duplication of disinfection protocol,
and to prevent potential lab contamination
![Page 33: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Communication with Dental Lab
• Using Web based Patient records and notes It is a web-native system that would require only a browser to use and develop a synchronization process to ensure better communication between dentists and/or with dental lab professionals.
• patient notes were organized into individual files and the system acted as a document repository that tracked when files were uploaded and by whom.

Hospital Design
• Private hospital rooms• Because infections significantly add to the cost of
medical care, reductions in infection rates significantly reduce the operational costs of the hospital and the overall costs of medical care, as well as making the hospital a safer environment for the patient
• Recent hospital design and construction guidelines incorporate this new evidence and require a private room design for new construction and remodeling.
![Page 37: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Ventilation
• It is interesting to know that 100% fresh air can be achieved in a specific room with all windows opened
• Airborne Isolation Room would require a negative pressure control with airflow from clean to dirty area, with 6-12 ACH (air change per hour) and exhaust to outside or re-circulated with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter.
![Page 38: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Air treatment
• Traditional mechanical high efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) air filtration, with or without laminar airflow ventilation, does reduce airborne fungal contamination and the incidence of invasive aspergillosis in a hospital setting. But the cost often precludes large-scale utilization.
![Page 39: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Air treatment
• AirInSpace, which owns a patented core technology, HEPA-MD™ —the next generation of its initial Plasmer™ platform — that is designed to inactivate lethal airborne microorganisms.
![Page 40: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Dijon Hospital conducted a 13-month pre-construction study to determine if the AirInSpace Plasmair mobile unit could indeed reduce the incidence of indoor fungal contamination in high-risk hospital rooms. Results of the study, “The use of Plasmair air-decontamination units for the prevention of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in neutropenic patients,” were published in the Journal of Hospital Infection.2

Dangerous Devices
• Mobile computers can bring both information and infection to the point of care.
• A recent market research study of the current state of physician computer adoption in the United States found that 65 percent of physicians interviewed believe mobile computing devices pose infection control risks at the point of care due to poor physician hand-washing habits.
![Page 42: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Handheld
• While physicians have said having a vast array of patient information instantaneously at their fingertips is beneficial, few will discuss the possibilities of pathogens being transferred via personal digital assistants (PDAs).
• Such devices can provide the perfect resting ground for pathogens
![Page 43: Modern Technology in Infection Control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54682c50b4af9f3a6d8b48e7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
