2. What are the mean tips concerning disinfection policy of your hospital.
1-my hospital. It's on this infection policies which suit circumstances and
economic resources.
2-the procedure products and chemicals available in market and FDA and
EPA approved.
3-the police's consider the size of the hospital and work flu and
available working stuff.
3. Give an account on automated and personal cleaning of instruments.
For instrument cleaning, a neutral or near-neutral pH detergent solution commonly is
used because such solutions generally provide the best material compatibility profile and good
soil removal. Enzymes, usually proteases, sometimes are added to neutral pH solutions to
assist in removing organic material. cleaning is required before high-level disinfection and
sterilization because inorganic and organic materials that remain on the surfaces of
instruments interfere with the effectiveness of these processes. Stuff must be protected when
performing this activities wearing suitable personal protective equipment such as face
protection heavy duty gloves and gowns are recommended Steps to clean the medical
instruments.

Sepsis is more common in the elderly and newborns.WHY?
(a strong reaction to a bacterial infection that spreads via the bloodstream).
2. Shift to Minimally Invasive Procedures
Surgery done through smaller incisions is typically considered safer. Minimal intervention operations
provide better care to patients. Better surgical care equals lower complications.
Lower complications equates to lower rates of infection.
Also faster recovery time .

For infection control objectives to work best, healthcare facilities need to coordinate
with other departments.
4. Explore Design Options for Infection Control
Care providers cleaning their hands before and after caring for every patient
Up to 69% of hospital-acquired infections are preventable through known quality
measures; specifically better cleaning hand hygiene.

9. 5. Preventing Spread of a Diseases especially HAI
Hospital-acquired infections are a constant threat to healthcare facilities.
6. Medical Scope Management
Good medical scope management can help track usage, cleaning and storage.
This helps in prevention of infection and reduces medical scope damage.
Infections can pass from one patient to the next if not adequately cleaned.
AlsoTraining of staff is critical, Can reduce infection incidents to 80 % to 90% Every
facility needs to adopt a policy that helps them stay within compliance and standards.

Jim Gauthier study clearly states the fact that environment plays a role in the spread
of infection.
He said , "it is estimated that 20-40% of HAIs result from transmission of pathogens
by a healthcare worker after touching another patient or a contaminated surface.
