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

ABSTRACT

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.
