ACCREDITATION OF INFECTION CONTROL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Hygiene and Infection ControlModern medicine presents huge challenges for health-care workers. These include understanding new scientifi c information, regulatory requirements, documentation, study results as well as innovative medicine, treatmentstrategies and devices in their daily practice.Sometimes hands on patient care drifts into the back-ground due to these challenges. In addition, new deve-lopments such as telemedicine and medical tourism have changed patient care from one single local physician with their team overseeing patient care to an interna-tional team of specialized medical staff, which in some cases do not even know each other.
Despite this, patient well-being and safety needs to be a fundamental part of all patient care and has to be our central aim. One quality marker and safety aspect for both patient and staff is the rate of complications such as nosocomial infections. Therefore, infection prevention and control has globally become of growing importance over the past years. In times of Multi-Drug-Resistant Or-ganisms (MDRO) such as MRSA, ESBL and VRE, interna-tional as well as national programs are needed to ensure patient safety.

Your 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene
WHO acknowledges the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG),in particular the members of the Infection Control Programme, for their active participation in developing this material.
October 2006, version 1.
Patients are aware of these challenges and expect ex-cellent hygienic conditions during their contact with the healthcare system. At the same time patients are more mobile and do not only select the best facility in their city or country, but also consider other countries or regions for their planned hospital stays. This also challenges the infection prevention and control strategies as demonst-rated during the infl uenza pandemic, where the H1N1 viruses spread along fl ight routes rapidly throughout the world. Infection prevention and control is one important
key quality and infl uences all processes of clinical prac-tice. Therefore, it has to be managed professionally and used as a major management tool to avoid a loss in effi -ciency of the clinical staff and their processes.
The global WHO campaign for patient safety „Clean Care is Safer Care“ led my Professor Didier Pittet from Geneva, for example, is one campaign focusing on increasing the awareness of hand hygiene importance. It includes more than 120 countries and promotes hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand rubs.

5 Essential Keys of Hygiene Management
Infection Control Accreditation Program (ICAP)We established a holistic 5-step approach to certify your facility with a Certificate of Excellence in Infection Con-trol, which is valid for three years. Step 1 is a site in-spection based on international guidelines such as the German Robert-Koch-Institute, US-CDC, European-CDC, regional GCC, ISO/EN/ASTM standards as well as ISO 9001 quality management standard. In this audit, our experts will gain insight into your hygiene-related pro-cesses, documentation, environmental microbiological data, responsible personnel, training records etc.
After this inspection you will receive an audit report in step 2, which is reviewed by an independent German expert. It will mention room for improvement, which is classified as recommendation, deviation or critical devi-ation. Also positive feedback will be included as hygiene motivation for your staff.
If there are no critical deviations, you will jump to step 5 directly and receive an ICAP certificate. If there are critical deviations, you need to go through step 3, the improve-ment phase. After completing the critical deviations and a re-inspection in step 4, you will receive the certificate in step 5. In addition, your facility will be listed on the www.brillhygiene.com website showing its excellence in infection prevention and control.
After the first visit, there will be annual re-inspections until the expiry of the certification after 3 years, when a re-accreditation audit is required and the process starts again with step 1.

Infection Control Accreditation Program (ICAP) for Healthcare Facilities
With ICAP we provide an infection prevention and control accreditation program for healthcare facilities such as hospitals, dental and veterinary clinics. Our infection prevention and control pro-gram is approved by German hygiene experts and meets international standards such as US-CDC, European-CDC and German Robert-Koch-Institute as well as the regional GCC-standards.
Globally, the importance of hygiene increases constantly. Therefore, our ICAP certificate shows to potential patients that the risk for a post-operative infection is as low as technically possible, which is very important especially for patients that visit a particular country for a medical treat-ment and leave the country before any clinical infection may become obvious.
To demonstrate to your customers that your infection prevention and control program is approved by German hygiene experts and meets international and regional standards, you will receive a high-level accreditation Certificate of Excellence in Infection Control from us to be displayed in your facility and on your website. Patients will feel safe and secure so that you can differentiate from your competitors within your region and internationally. Your benefits are that you will be able to reduce costs and attract more patients (medical tourism). Our services are provided by German experts who have years of experience in the field of hygiene.
