医疗保健相关感染、患者安全以及相关政策和方案的协调一致是欧洲日益关注和活动的焦点。对医护人员的感染控制培训是所有患者安全和HCAI预防和控制方案的基石。2009年，欧洲疾病预防和控制中心(ECDC)委托对欧洲感染控制培训需求进行了评估(TRICE)，评估结果显示，对预防HCAI的承诺大幅增加。另一方面，它也指出了在统一和促进感染控制和医院卫生(IC/HH)培训方面存在的障碍，这主要是由于各国在以下方面存在差异：(1)卫生工作者，特别是护士的资格要求；(2)现有资源；(3)IC/HH方案的可持续性。2013年，欧洲疾病控制与预防中心公布了欧盟感染控制和医院卫生专业人员的核心能力，并启动了一个新项目[“欧盟感染控制培训战略的实施”(TRICE-IS)]，其目的是：为IC/HH课程和培训方案的评估确定商定的方法和标准；制定灵活的IC/HH分类；以及为IC/HH专业人员实施易于使用的‘Wiki’格式的网络工具。本文回顾了Trice和Trice-IS项目的几个方面。(C)2015年由爱思唯尔有限公司代表医疗感染学会出版。
Healthcare-associated infection (HCAI), patient safety, and the harmonization of related policies and programmes are the focus of increasing attention and activity in Europe. Infection control training for healthcare workers (HCWs) is a cornerstone of all patient safety and HCAI prevention and control programmes. In 2009 the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) commissioned an assessment of needs for training in infection control in Europe (TRICE), which showed a substantial increase in commitment to HCAI prevention. On the other hand, it also identified obstacles to the harmonization and promotion of training in infection control and hospital hygiene (IC/HH), mostly due to differences between countries in: (i) the required qualifications of HCWs, particularly nurses; (ii) the available resources; and (iii) the sustainability of IC/HH programmes. In 2013, ECDC published core competencies for infection control and hospital hygiene professionals in the European Union and a new project was launched ['Implementation of a training strategy for infection control in the European Union' (TRICE-IS)] that aimed to: define an agreed methodology and standards for the evaluation of IC/HH courses and training programmes; develop a flexible IC/HH taxonomy; and implement an easily accessible web tool in 'Wiki' format for IC/HH professionals. This paper reviews several aspects of the TRICE and the TRICE-IS projects. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of the Healthcare Infection Society.
