HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTIONS
CLIMVIB also provides the service
of “Surveillance of hospital-acquired infections” according to the National Plan of
Infections Control. Routine screening tests for “alert germs” and bacterial
resistance are performed. All epidemiological data (especially hospital multi-resistant
organisms) are monitored by asoftware that promptly alerts departments by notifying them
in real-time of the sentinel germ identified, thus facilitating the containment
procedures. The hospital map of the infections and antibacterial resistance is evaluated
in the clinical departments by audit and quarterly reports in collaboration with the
Committee of Hospital-acquired Infections.
The Unit periodically runs microbiological analysis of water
circuits of dialysis and environmental controls especially for Legionella.
