Construction of Hospital Infection Prevention and Control System in Lhasa Region Based on Failure Mode and Effect Analysis.

OBJECTIVE

To explicitly apply Failure Model and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to enhance the effectiveness of hospital infection prevention and control in the Lhasa region, with a focus on reducing infection rates and improving emergency response strategies.

METHODS

This study utilized a hybrid FMEA approach, combining qualitative expert insights with quantitative data analysis, to assess hospital infection risks from January 2019 to June 2023 in Lhasa hospitals.

RESULTS

The FMEA analysis led to the development of targeted strategies for key prevention and control links. For instance, implementing a real-time monitoring system for early detection of infections and enhancing staff training on infection control protocols.

CONCLUSION

The FMEA-based system, adaptable to various healthcare settings, demonstrated potential scalability beyond the Lhasa region, offering a promising framework for improved hospital infection control globally.
