ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the role of a three-in-one practice, management, and innovation training model (also called as three-in-one practice-management-innovation training model) in the construction of an infection control team. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed the position structure, mastery of professional knowledge, and working methods of the full-time and part-time personnel of the Changzhou Cancer Hospital, compared the training content of Jiangsu Hospital Infection Control Center with the actual situation of the hospital, and formulated and implemented a three-in-one practice-management-innovation training model. First, the team members were selected for the construction and management of the Hospital Infection Management Department according to the relevant responsibility and management requirements, and their learning and mastery of the basic knowledge and skills concerning infection control were completed based on their professional roles. In line with the regulations of the hospital and department, full-time personnel were ensured of having the opportunity to participate in provincial- and municipal-level academic exchanges and then learn from each other, through collaboration between doctors and nurses, how to exercise basic management skills. At the same time, a fair competitive incentive mechanism was established through the three-level network of the hospital infection committee, the hospital infection management department, and nosocomial infection management department to implement innovative project-based management and cultivate an awareness of hospital infection control in all employees. RESULTS: The professional structure of the full-time infection control personnel has been optimized, the awareness of the infection control team concerning active participation in practice has gradually increased, and infection control management and innovation has been significantly improved.
