The document discusses cross infection control in dentistry. It defines cross infection as the transfer of infectious agents between people, directly or indirectly, and cross infection control as measures taken to prevent cross infection. It describes various pathogens that can be transmitted and discusses ways of transmission including direct contact and indirect transmission between patients, dental workers, and through dental office equipment. It outlines standard precautions for personal protection, maintaining an aseptic environment, and basic cross infection control. It also discusses cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization procedures for dental instruments and the environment.

Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs): Research NewsletterErin K. Peavey
In the US “One in 25 patients have a hospital-acquired
infection...Each day, over 205 deaths occur from HAIs...”
— Centers for Disease Control, 2011
An overview of this month’s article follows with bullet-points of the advantages and disadvantages of various environmental interventions in the prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), often referred to as hospital-acquired infections. Paragraph summaries of Cleaning Strategies, Materials, Room Design and Hand-Hygiene are listed below. These provide broad themes and findings from the article. Reading the full article is always of benefit for a fuller understanding and is recommended. Click here to access the full article on the HERD Journal website.
Dive into our detailed presentation on Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs). Our slide delves deep into the types, causes, and prevention strategies, highlighting the importance of stringent healthcare protocols. Presented by Ashish Sharma, this resource offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public."

Handwashing Procedures
The hand hygiene compliance plan is essential in many ways.
Employees are safe from any bacterial infections.
Patients feel safe
Forms better relations between medical team and patient

Handwashing Procedure
Wet your hands
Apply sufficient amount of soap to hands
Rub hands together
Spread over entire surface of hands and extend to lower part of forearms
Rub palm to palm, between fingers, rub palms while fingers are interlaced. Rub back of fingers with opposite hand.
Apply small amount of water to lather
Rinse Hands
Dry hands with clean towel
Turn off water with clean towel
Dry hands for 5 seconds
Apply gloves

Compliance Plan A
Hand washing or hygiene includes two primary actions:
a) Washing the hands by using soap and water. It ensures limitation of colonization of transient flora accompanied by dirt, soil, and loose flora.
b) Rubbing hands with a fast-acting antiseptic agent known as the hand sanitizer.
z
Compliance Plan A
Before patient contact: All the medical attendants to clean their hands before touching a patient when approaching him or her. The core reason for this is to protect the patient against any harmful germs carried along with the attendant’s hands.
Before an aseptic task: Medical attendants to clean their hands immediately before application or use of any aseptic task. The reason for this is shielding the patients against any harmful germs, including germs from the patient. (Institute for Healthcare Improvement, 2016)
After a body fluid exposure risk: The affected person should clean hands immediately after an exposure to such risk of body fluids, even after glove removal. The reason for this is it offers protection on the own body and the healthcare environment against any harmful germs or pathogens.
After contact with patient surroundings: Hands should be cleaned after touching any object such as bending or furniture in the patient’s immediate surroundings. The reason is to protect yourself and the healthcare environment against any harmful patient germs. (Hamilton, 2014)
After patient contact: Hands should be cleaned after touching a patient and his or her immediate surroundings. The reason for this is to protect you against any germs and pathogens from the environment.

hand hygiene compliance8Hand Hygiene Education Implementation and Nurses Compliance in Reducing Nosocomial Infections
Grand Canyon University NRS-490
March 31, 2019
Background
Hygiene is a very crucial factor in prevention of infection in any health care facility. Also, compliance of handwashing ensures patients safety, aids in the treatment and recovery of hospitalized patients. Hand hygiene is important action performed by healthcare works to prevent transmission of healthcare associated infection (Smiddy, O’Connell & Creedon, 2015). Health care professionals such as doctors, nurses, physical therapist and laboratory technicians, take the responsibility of providing efficient, effective and quality care that will improve the health of their patients.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the change proposal project components the author has been working on throughout the course. The goal of health care works rendering a quality, effective and efficient care to their patient in the health care setting will be difficult to achieve if the rate handwashing adherence is below expectation. Unclean healthcare environments harbor germs that can cause disease, thereby placing the patient at risk of developing infection instead of recovering from their present health condition. Healthcare providers inability to comply with hand hygiene is one the main reason patient develop hospital acquired infections (HAIs). Healthcare employees have the lives of patient in their hands therefore, hand hygiene should not by any means be neglected or dominated out in any healthcare facility.
Approximately 250 health care specialists in a Metro Detroit facility happened to be watched and assessed directly; prior to the start of the exercise, participants were selected based on their hand washing comprehension and compliance. Partakers expresses that they observed improvement on handwashing practices and that most nurses complied to hand washing guidelines evidenced by some significant reductions in the rate of transmission of HAIs within the healthcare facility. HAIs are the infections a patient acquire during the period of hospitalization. The result of the research showed a huge decrease in the spread of nosocomial infections due to progress of hand hygiene training and nurses’ compliance to handwashing protocols. These infections mostly manifest during or after 48 hours of admission or thirty days after discharge from the hospital or health-care facility. The author of this research study sees HAIs as a dangerous disease with many complications. Because inadequate handwashing practices by healthcare workers are the main cause of spread of hospital acquire infections, it is important to educate staff members on proper hand hygiene, implement plan to encourage hand hygiene compliance in the healthcare settings. Blood-stream, ulcers / surgical wounds, CAUTI and respiratory infections are the most common types of HA.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
