A Modern Approach to Quality Management of Medical Care in the System of Ensuring Epidemiological Safety of a Medical Organization

The article analyzes a modern approach to quality management of medical care through ensuring epidemiological safety in healthcare organizations. The author emphasizes that epidemiological safety is systematic work aimed at minimizing the risks of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) for both patients and medical staff. The foundation of this approach is the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act), which allows for the identification of weaknesses and continuous improvement of processes. Key elements of the system include teamwork among specialists, process standardization through the development of local regulations and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and microbiological monitoring to control the circulation of microorganisms and antimicrobial resistance. Special attention is given to staff training, calculating the need for disinfectants, organizing sterilization, and involving patients in safety measures. Practical experience in implementing the system is presented, highlighting the importance of safety culture and digitalization to enhance the effectiveness of quality management.
