डायलिसिस केंद्रों में संक्रमण रोकने के उपाय — हाथ धोना, एक्सेस देखभाल, डिसइंफेक्शन लॉग, अपशिष्ट प्रबंधन। NABH मूल्यांकन में संक्रमण नियंत्रण साक्ष्य अनिवार्य है।
An infection control program (ICP) is mandatory for NABH accreditation (HIC chapter). Core elements include: hand hygiene program (WHO 5-moments, alcohol-based hand rub at point of care, monthly compliance audits with ≥90% target); standard and transmission-based precautions; environmental cleaning schedule; sterilization and disinfection of medical equipment; biomedical waste management per BMW Rules; occupational health program (Hepatitis B vaccination, post-exposure prophylaxis, tuberculosis screening); and healthcare-associated infection surveillance (bloodstream infections, CAUTI, SSI, dialysis access infections in HD units). For dialysis centers, the CDC recommends additional measures: serological screening of all patients (HBsAg, anti-HCV, HIV), vaccination protocols, machine disinfection between sessions, and water treatment monitoring (AAMI/ISO 23500).
