| Objective To explore the effect of feedforward control measures on the qualified rate of disinfection and decontamination in hospital disinfection supply center and the incision infection rate in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Methods Before and after feedforward control measures were implemented in disinfection supply center of our hospital, the qualified rate of disinfection and decontamination and the incision infection rate in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery were compared. Results Before and after the implementation of feedforward control measure, the qualified rate of medical device sampling was 86.02% and 95.15%, the qualified rates of cleaning, packaging and distribution were 86.50% and 97.50%, 88.50% and 95.50%, 93.50% and 96.50%, respectively, and the goods loss rate was 0.93% and 0.19%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). The infection rate of incision in patients was 5.00% before feedforward control and 1.00% after feedforward control (P＜0.05). Before and after the implementation of feedforward control measure, 29 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected, including Gram-negative bacteria (58.62%) and Gram-positive bacteria (41.38%). Conclusions Feedforward control can obviously enhance the work efficiency of medical staff in the disinfection supply center, play a good role in prevention and control, and reduce the risk of infection in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. |
