5 A hospital outbreak 26 th August 1984 diarrhoea and vomiting Stanley Royd Baroness Trumpington "Stanley Royd is a large hospital in Wakefield for mentally ill and psychogeriatric patients. Major outbreak of salmonella food poisoning Began on 26th August 1984, 355 patients and 106 members of staff were affected. Food poisoning caused, or contributed to, the deaths of 19 patients. At the time of the outbreak and subsequently a number of allegations were made of errors in the control of infection, of poor standards of hygiene in the hospital kitchen and of other shortcomings. 5 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

6 Outbreak of Legionnaires' disease Date? 6 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

7 The Stafford outbreak of Legionnaires' disease Epidemiology and Infection A large outbreak of Legionnaires' disease was associated with Stafford District General Hospital. April 1985 A total of 68 confirmed cases was treated in hospital and 22 of these patients died. A further 35 patients, 14 of whom were treated at home, were suspected cases of Legionnaires' disease. All these patients had visited the hospital during April Epidemiological investigations demonstrated that there had been a high risk of acquiring the disease in the out patient department (OPD), but no risk in other parts of the hospital. The epidemic strain of Legionella pneumophila, serogroup 1, subgroup Pontiac 1a was isolated from the cooling water system of one of the air conditioning plants. This plant served several departments of the hospital including the OPD. The water in the cooling tower and a chiller unit which cooled the air entering the OPD were contaminated with legionellae.

8 The Stafford outbreak of Legionnaires' disease Epidemiology and Infection The water in the cooling tower and a chiller unit which cooled the air entering the OPD were contaminated with legionellae. April 1985 Bacteriological and engineering investigations showed how the chiller unit could have been contaminated and how an aerosol containing legionellae could have been generated in the U-trap below the chiller unit. These results, together with the epidemiological evidence, suggest that the chiller unit was most likely to have been the major source of the outbreak. Nearly one third of hospital staff had legionella antibodies. These staff were likely to have worked in areas of the hospital ventilated by the contaminated air conditioning plant, but not necessarily the OPD. There was evidence that a small proportion of these staff had a mild legionellosis and that these 'influenza-like' illnesses had been spread over a 5-month period. A possible explanation of this finding is that small amounts of aerosol from cooling tower sources could have entered the air-intake and been distributed throughout the areas of the hospital served by this ventilation system. Legionellae, subsequently found to be of the epidemic strain, had been found in the cooling tower pond in November 1984 and thus it is possible that staff were exposed to low doses of contaminated aerosol over several months. Control measures are described, but it was later apparent that the outbreak had ended before these interventions were introduced. The investigations revealed faults in the design of the ventilation system.

9 The efficacy of infection surveillance and control programs in preventing nosocomial infection in US hospitals. Haley R W, Culver DH, White JW, et al. Am J Epidemiology 1985; 121: SENIC Study of the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control - validated the cost-benefit of infection control programs. Data collected in 1970 and suggested that one-third of all nosocomial infections could be prevented. 9 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

15 First description of MRSA M Patricia Jevons Staphylococcus Reference Laboratory No direct connexion between the strain isolated from the eczematous patient in July and the two strains isolated in October could be demonstrated. Nurse B was not on duty in the out-patient department or the ward to which the patient was admitted in July, and she was not a nasal carrier at the end of October when her lesion had healed. It seems, however, very likely that the strain isolated from patient C in July was in fact the same as that isolated from patient A and nurse B in October, especially as the original patient with the infected eczema is a regular hospital attender, and this strain has been isolated from her nose three times over a three-month period and from her skin on the only occasion this was swabbed. 15 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

29 Code of Practice 2015 Compliance criteria Systems to ensure that all care workers (including contractors and volunteers) are aware of and discharge their responsibilities in the process of preventing and controlling infection. 7. Provide or secure adequate isolation facilities. 8. Secure adequate access to laboratory support as appropriate. 9. Have and adhere to policies, designed for the individual s care and provider organisations that will help to prevent and control infections. 10. Providers have a system in place to manage the occupational health needs and obligations of staff in relation to infection. for all providers of healthcare and adult social care on the prevention of infections under The Health and Social Care Act This sets out the 10 criteria against which a registered provider will be judged on how it complies with the registration requirements related to infection prevention. Not all criteria will apply to every regulated activity. 29 The CQC is responsible for judging compliance with the registration requirements set out in regulations.

32 NICE/HPA Quality Improvement Statements 1: Board level leadership to prevent HCAIs Trust boards to demonstrate leadership in infection prevention and control to ensure a culture of continuous quality improvement and to minimise risk to patients 32 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

33 NICE/HPA Quality Improvement Statements 1: Board level leadership to prevent HCAIs What does this mean for people visiting, or receiving treatment in, hospitals? People visiting, or receiving treatment in, hospitals can expect all trust staff - from board to ward level - to take responsibility, and be accountable for, continuous quality improvement in relation to infection prevention and control. What does it mean for trust boards? Boards are proactive in ensuring continuous quality improvement by leading on, and regularly monitoring compliance with, all relevant infection prevention and control objectives, policies and procedures. 33

34 1: Board level leadership to prevent HCAIs Evidence of achievement 1. Evidence that the board is up-to-date with, and has a working knowledge and understanding of, infection prevention and control. 2. Evidence that the board has an agreed set of key performance indicators for infection prevention and control which includes compliance with antibiotic prescribing policy. 3. Evidence that the agreed key performance indicators are used by the board to monitor the trust's infection prevention and control performance. 4. Evidence that the trust's aims and objectives for infection prevention and control are included in the board's Balanced score card'. 5. Evidence that a board member has been assigned to lead on infection prevention and control. 6. Evidence of a board-approved infection prevention and control accountability framework. This includes evidence of specific responsibilities allocated to staff working in, or coming into contact with, clinical areas (reflected in their job descriptions and appraisals) Evidence that a mechanism is in place to report regularly to board meetings on

35 Practical examples Annual improvement plans include comparative data on progress towards relevant quality improvement statement goals, as well as in areas covered by other relevant guidance. (An example is NICE's clinical guideline on prevention and treatment of surgical site infection) Regular audit of board infection prevention and control accountability framework. Infection prevention and control features in the planned board development programme. Audit of infection prevention and control objectives within annual work programme. Health and Social Care Act code of practice Criterion 1: Guidance for compliance 1.1, 1.5 Criterion 6: Guidance for compliance 6.2 1: Board level leadership to prevent HCAIs 35

36 Quality Improvement Statements 2: Be a learning organisation Trusts use information from a range of sources to inform and drive continuous quality improvement to minimise risk from infection 3: HCAI surveillance Trusts have a surveillance system in place to routinely gather data and to carry out mandatory monitoring of HCAIs and other infections of local relevance to inform the local response to HCAIs. 36 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

37 Quality Improvement Statements 4: Workforce capacity and capability Trusts prioritise the need for a skilled, knowledgeable and healthy workforce that delivers continuous quality improvement to minimise the risk from infections. This includes support staff, volunteers, agency/locum staff and those employed by contractors. 5: Environmental cleanliness Trusts ensure standards of environmental cleanliness are maintained and improved beyond current national guidance. 37 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

38 Quality Improvement Statements 6: Multi-agency working to reduce HCAIs Trusts work proactively in multi-agency collaborations with other local health and social care providers to reduce risk from infection. 7: Communication Trusts ensure there is clear communication with all staff, patients and carers throughout the care pathway about HCAIs, infection risks and how to prevent HCAIs, to reduce harm from infection. 38 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

39 Quality Improvement Statements 8: Admission, discharge and transfer Trusts have a multi-agency patient admission, discharge and transfer policy which gives clear, relevant guidance to local health and social care providers on the critical steps to take to minimise harm from infection. 9: Patient and public involvement Trusts use input from local patient and public experience for continuous quality improvement to minimise harm from HCAIs. 39 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

40 Quality Improvement Statements 10: Trust estate management Trusts consider infection prevention and control when procuring, commissioning, planning, designing and completing new and refurbished hospital services and facilities (and during subsequent routine maintenance). 11: New technology and innovation Trusts regularly review evidence-based assessments of new technology and other innovations to minimise harm from HCAIs and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). 40 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

54 NICE Quality Standards QS113 Healthcare-associated infections Quality Statement 5: Admission, discharge and transfer People admitted to, discharged from, or transferred between or within hospitals, have information about any infections and associated treatments shared with health and social care staff to inform their care. Potentially avoidable healthcare-associated infections can occur when people are admitted to, discharged from or transferred between or within hospitals. Sharing information on current infections, treatment and colonising organisms can result in better care and outcomes for people with, or at risk of, infections and can help to reduce the risk of infections being spread between care settings. 54 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

55 NICE Quality Standards QS113 Healthcare-associated infections Quality Statement 5: Admission, discharge and transfer People admitted to, discharged from, or transferred between or within hospitals, have information about any infections and associated treatments shared with health and social care staff to inform their care. A consistent approach to sharing information between health and social care practitioners involved in a patient's care pathway should ensure appropriate on-going support, and minimise the risk of inappropriate management and transmission of infection. Information should be shared when arrangements are made for a person to move from the care of one organisation to another, or when arrangements are made to move a person within a hospital, while maintaining patient confidentiality and privacy. 55 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer
