"The National Joint Action of Risk Management" was started in May 2008. The Japanese Society of Laboratory Medicine took this opportunity to set up a Medical Safety Committee as a participant in this Action. The Society holds symposia concerning medical safety to educate the Society members. Nosocomial infections are medical accidents. Whereas community-acquired infections are likely to develop depending on a balance between pathogens and hosts, nosocomial infections are implicated with medical practices, so they develop depending on the interrelationship among pathogens, hosts, and medical practices. Medical practices are mostly indispensable for providing medical services; therefore, activities against nosocomial infections are critical for establishing medical safety, freedom from anxiety, and reliability. Hence, this symposium deals with five themes: Countermeasures against and the management of needle-stick and cut accidents, collaboration between the infection control team (ICT) and the bacteriology laboratory, information transmission from the clinical laboratory department to physicians engaged in infectious disease treatment, utilization of laboratory data for infection control, and medical safety against tuberculosis infection.
“国家风险管理联合行动”于2008年5月启动。日本检验医学学会借此机会作为该行动的参与者成立了医疗安全委员会。该学会举办有关医疗安全的研讨会以教育学会成员。医院感染属于医疗事故。社区获得性感染可能取决于病原体与宿主之间的平衡而发生，而医院感染与医疗行为相关，因此它们的发生取决于病原体、宿主和医疗行为之间的相互关系。医疗行为对于提供医疗服务大多是不可或缺的；因此，针对医院感染的活动对于建立医疗安全、消除焦虑和提高可靠性至关重要。因此，本次研讨会涉及五个主题：针刺和切割事故的应对与管理、感染控制团队（ICT）与细菌学实验室之间的协作、临床检验科室向从事传染病治疗的医生的信息传递、实验室数据在感染控制中的利用以及针对结核感染的医疗安全。
