在发达国家、转型期国家和发展中国家,病人安全是影响卫生保健提供的一个重要问题。随着患者护理的进步,与患者安全有关的未知问题也在不断涌现。危及患者安全的一个重要问题是在卫生保健设施中获得的感染。卫生保健相关感染(HCAI)不再是一个地区性或区域性问题。随着多重耐药细菌在全球的传播,人类免疫缺陷病毒感染的问题变得更加严峻。泛耐药细菌菌株的出现,加上缺乏新的抗菌药,预示着医院感染管理的严峻前景。因此,制定地方政策和措施,采取积极行动,预防HCAI,减轻多重耐药负担,具有重要意义。
Patient safety is an important issue affecting the delivery of health care in developed, transitional and developing countries. With the advancements in patient care, hitherto unknown issues relating to patient safety are emerging. An important problem endangering patient safety is infections acquired in the health care facilities. Health care associated infections (HCAIs) are no longer a local or regional problem. With the dissemination of multi-drug resistant bacteria across the globe, the problem of HCAIs has become even grimmer. The emergence of pan-resistant bacterial strains, compounded by lack of availability of new antimicrobials foretells a grave future for management of infections acquired in hospitals. Therefore, it is important to frame local policies and measures and take affirmative actions for prevention of HCAIs and reduce the burden of multi drug resistance.
