Services :
Shwill Medicom Private Limited offers services which are a need for every Healthcare setup whether it is a startup or it is a full-fledged running institution.
Preamble:
Hospital acquired infections are a highly suppressed and not an openly discussed topic in any healthcare setup, since it has the potentialto make or break the reputation of any healthcare setup and in the process evoke questions on the processes and practices followed to
manage or handle them.
With the HAI’s, subsequent deaths are known to happen which tend to increase the mortality rates in the hospital and in turn raise questions
on the efficacy of medicines OR line of treatment and importantly raise questions on the competency of the doctors and staff. AND, this topic, if taken seriously with an honest intent, can improve the ratings of any hospital or institution and also be a beacon for others
on reducing the mortality rates in any hospital. Hence, we as a company work closely in confidence with the management of any hospital, and suggest suitable methods including setting up
certain devices or processes to prevent HAI’s (Hospital Acquired Infections) or Device Related Infections in the hospital. Some of the methods we employ are: 1. Data mining 2. Data analysis 3. Surveillance 4. Infection monitoring 5. Mortality rates and analysis 6. Training of Staff on regular basis 7. Training of attendants of patients 8. Suggestion on methods and devices
to use to prevent or reduce infections. 9. And many more.
Infection Control:
Any disease caused by a microorganism like bacteria, virus, fungi or any other parasite is called an infection. Hospital – Acquired-Infections (HAI), also known as Nosocomial Infections are infections which happen to patients after admission to ahealthcare facility and which was not present prior to admission or at the time of admission. Hence, any infection that clinically manifests after
48 hours of hospitalization are considered hospital acquired infections. Similarly any infections that occur to patients after discharge are also
nosocomial infections if the organisms were acquired during the stay in the hospital. Bacteria are the most common cause of Hospital Acquired
Infections. Any infection is a health hazard to any health care facility as it causes increased morbidity and mortality apart from the increased stay in
the hospital. Hence they need to be prevented from causing contamination, colonization and/or direct/in-direct infection instead of
controlling and managing them. Infections can happen due to pathogens sourced from anywhere – right from air, water, food, to surfaces, to the next door patient or due
to the patient’s own skin flora.
Surveillance :
Surveillance in a hospital setup is important, to know the trend, and the early detection of HAI’s with the possible occurrence of outbreaks.Once an outbreak is suspected or happens, then this mechanism helps in identifying the source and its effective control.
Some Statistics :
- The Incidence of HAI’s is 12% - 15% worldwide. In India it is approx 15 % - 25%.
- Approx . > 20 lacs HAI occur each year in India, and will increase.
- India has approx. 92,000 – 1,50000 deaths per year - direct result of HAI.
- > 200,000 deaths per year linked to HAI (as a contributing factor).
- Delayed discharge from hospital (approx. 7.5 – 12.3 extra days / patient).
- The cost of additional care averaged 43% of the total costs of care.
- HAI costs > 2 times no infection and direct result is death.
- Expensive to treat [Rs. 15,000 – 2,50,000 extra].
- Mortality rates due to HAI’s is approx 64% to 72% of the total mortality rates of a hospital.
- Increasing antibiotic resistance is making it difficult to treat, out of which 15% - 30% are preventable.
