Objective To analyze the application of continuous quality improvement in hospital infection
management in modern nosocomial infections, and to effectively control hospital infection. Methods
In January 2017, advanced computer and bar code technology were used to record the process of
disinfection items in the nosocomial infections one by one, and the quality management traceability
system of disinfection items was realized. The continuous quality improvement system of modern
nosocomial infections was established, and the control effect of continuous quality improvement on
hospital infection was observed. Results There were 22465 sterilized items in 2017, which was
higher than that in 2016. The loss rate of sterilized items in 2017 was 0.26%, which was
significantly lower than that in 2016 (χ2=221.18, P<0.05). The cycle time of sterilized items in 2017
was (3.46 ±0.8).d, shorter than in 2016 (6.52±1.8) d, The incidence of nosocomial infection due to
equipment problems was 3.8% in 2017, which was significantly lower than 13.7% in 2016 (χ2 =
9.34, P < 0.05). Conclusion The establishment of continuous quality improvement management in
nosocomial infections can ensure the quality of disinfection supplies and is an effective means to
control nosocomial infection.
