RESULTS OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF MEASURES FOR PROTECTION OF HEALTH OF MEDICAL PERSONNEL OF DENTAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
The high risk of transmission of blood-borne infections (HIV, hepatitis B, C) during a dental appointment is an urgent problem and the basis for developing an effective system of measures to combat and prevent infections in healthcare organizations. In order to reduce the incidence of parenteral viral hepatitis in the population, we conducted monitoring studies to control the state of infection control (IC) in state dental healthcare organizations of the republic. One of the important points in the implementation of infection control programs is the “Administrative control” block, which includes a number of criteria. In the course of monitoring studies, numerous violations of the implementation of infection control requirements for administrative measures of the IC were revealed, in almost all dental organizations there is no or no functioning Committee for the quality of medical services, without which the program for introducing infection control measures cannot be implemented. Developed and implemented an infection control training program in all dental organizations. The requirement for the functioning of the Committee for the quality of medical services of the criterion “Administrative control” at the basic of monitoring and assessing was 22,2 %, after training it increased to 38,9 %, at the third of monitoring and assessing it increased to 61,1 % and at the fourth of monitoring and assessing the Quality Committees worked in 72,2 % dental organizations. The financing of hepatitis B vaccines improved by 5.5 times, the growth rate was 37,8 %. As a result, dental organizations, where the medical staff was vaccinated against HBV 3 times, increased 6,7 times - from 8,3 % (with basic of monitoring and assessing) to 55,6 % (with the fourth of monitoring and assessing), while the growth rate was 122,4 %. Ensuring the quality of dental care provided to the population through an integrated approach to fulfilling all infection control requirements will prevent the spread of infections associated with the provision of medical care.
