Hospital-acquired infections are a significant problem worldwide. They occur in healthcare facilities and affect patients through exposure to microorganisms. Reducing hospital-acquired infections requires coordinated efforts across many hospital departments and roles. Key steps include implementing infection control guidelines, ensuring proper sanitation and hygiene practices, monitoring multi-drug resistant bacteria, and providing training to healthcare workers.
1. Healthcare-associated infections are one of the most common complications of healthcare and can increase patient morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, and costs. Common healthcare infections include catheter-associated urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
2. Infections in hospitals can be transmitted via direct contact, airborne routes like coughing and sneezing, or ingestion of contaminated items. Standard precautions like hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment are recommended to prevent transmission.
3. The hospital infection control committee is responsible for implementing infection control policies and programs. This includes surveillance of healthcare-associated infections, training of
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard aims to protect workers from exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials.

Globally, healthcare-associated infections affect millions of patients annually. Proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, and sanitation are essential to prevent transmission of infections from healthcare workers to patients. Nurses play a key role in ensuring patient safety through applying best practices for infection control.
Healthcare-associated infections affect millions of patients worldwide each year. According to the WHO, on average 8.7% of hospital patients suffer from healthcare-associated infections. Preventing the spread of infections requires proper knowledge, skills, and adherence to infection control practices among healthcare providers. This includes appropriate hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, respiratory hygiene, safe disposal of sharps, cleaning of the environment, and handling of contaminated linen. Adhering to infection control protocols can help reduce the risk of transmitting infections to patients and healthcare workers.
Infection is caused by pathogens ('bugs') such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi getting into or onto the body.
It can take some time before the microbes multiply enough to trigger symptoms of illness, which means an infected person may unwittingly be spreading the disease during this incubation period.
Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person in the first place.
Employers are obliged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (2004) to provide a safe workplace for their employees, including the provision of adequate infection control procedures and the right equipment and training.
Hospital-associated infections, also known as nosocomial infections, can occur in patients receiving healthcare in hospitals or other facilities.

These items are designed to provide a protective barrier during dental procedures and through the sterilization process. PPE must also be considered for patients as they enter the facility and provided to administrative staff who may be screening them upon arrival.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Gown
Dental Hygiene Care Professionals (DHCP) should wear protective clothing (eg, gowns, jackets) to prevent contamination of scrubs and to protect the skin from exposure to blood and bodily fluids.
Sleeves should be long enough to protect the forearms.
Protective clothing should be changed after use or when it becomes visibly soiled by blood or other bodily fluids.
DHCP should remove protective clothing before leaving the work area.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Eyewear/Face Shields
Protective Eyewear
DHCP should wear protective eyewear with solid side shields or a face shield during procedures likely to generate splashes or sprays of blood or bodily fluids or the spatter of debris. Reusable protective eyewear should be cleaned with soap and water, and when visibly soiled, disinfected between patients.
Personal eyeglasses are not considered PPE.
Protective eyewear should be provided to patients.
Face Shields
Face shields provide full-face coverage.
Must be worn with a face mask.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Gloves
DHCP should wear gloves to prevent contamination of their hands when touching mucous membranes, blood, saliva, or other potentially infectious materials and to reduce the likelihood that microorganisms on their hands will be transmitted to patients during patient care.
Gloves should be used for one patient only and discarded appropriately after use.
Hand hygiene should be performed prior to donning gloves and immediately after glove removal.
Hand Hygiene
Hand hygiene is extremely important to prevent the spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus. It also interrupts the transmission of other viruses and bacteria, thus reducing the overall burden of disease, Dental healthcare facilities should ensure that hand hygiene supplies are readily available in every patient care location.
