Abstract:
Although hospital hygiene has a long history in Italy it is necessary to reflect about it because of the innovation
in healthcare systems and because of the evolution due to European Union related activities.
Different traditions exist in European countries about hospital hygiene and European Centre for Disease
Prevention and Control (ECDC) adopted the term of “infection control and hospital hygiene” which includes
all the engaged European healthcare professionals.
We propose to modify hospital hygiene as “healthcare organisation hygiene” in order to focalise the attention
to all care settings not only hospitals and to adopt the following definition: “all activities aimed to guarantee,
in an appropriate, scientifically sound and efficient way, that structures and processes support healthcare practices
in a safe comfortable and healthy environment both for patients, caregivers and healthcare workers”.
Hospital hygiene and its professionals, besides the long tradition, still remain a relevant pillar in guaranteeing
quality and safety of healthcare in Italy.
