Evaluation of comprehensive support programs to improve infection control and practices in regional health care facilities.

我们将本研究所设计的感染控制与预防支援计划，应用于五间中小型医院、两间老人福利院及一间中等收费的老人院。我们已经实施了一年的支持计划，以改善每个设施的感染控制和预防系统。在一年的支持后，我们分析了会议记录、检查报告和问卷调查结果，以评估支持计划的效果。这些支持计划为每个卫生保健机构制定感染控制和预防系统，并帮助他们实施自己的跨职能感染控制措施。

We applied the support program of infection control and prevention, which we have devised in this study, into five small and medium sized hospitals, two welfare facilities for the aged, and a moderate-fee home for the elderly. We have implemented the support programs in order to improve their infection control and prevention system in each facility for a year. After one-year support, we analyzed meeting records, inspection reports, and results of questionnaire survey to evaluate effects of the support programs. The support programs worked for each health care facility to develop their infection control and prevention systems and to help them carry out theirown cross-functional measures of infection control.
