After HALT 1 Establishment of a surveillance
system for LTCFs in Hungary

Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Stockholm, Sweden
- lack of /no infection control knowledge- no infection control practice- a few enthusiastic leader / not motivated leaders - hiding of real situation
• National level
- incomplete registration of long-term care facilities- unexplored area
OPPORTUNITIES
• To design basic and specific training courses (e.g. IC, AB use)
• To develop specific guidelines (e.g. diagnosis, treatment, prevention)
• To share basic care protocols (e.g. device use, hand hygiene)
• To invite the LTCFs to awareness days (e.g. hand hygiene, AB use)
• To set up a national surveillance system specific for LTCFs
THREATS
• No basic diagnostic background (RTG, labor, microbiology)
Roentgenography Laboratory Microbiology
• No isolation possibility (single rooms)
WAYS FORWARD IN 2012(by Department of Hospital Epidemiology)
• Develop a specific guidelines
• Provide trainings
• Establish a specific national surveillance system
SURVEILLANCE OF INFECTIONS AND AB-USE IN LTCFs
AIMS:
• assess type of infections• detect outbreaks and AMRs• follow up trends• identify risk factors and opportunities for prevention and control• define priorities (consider impact of disease)
SURVEILLANCE OF INFECTIONS AND AB-USE IN LTCFs
DATA COLLECTION:• by ourself• use NNSS software
METHODOLOGY:• similar to HALT• patient-based • provide case definitions, data collection and reporting procedures
SURVEILLANCE OF INFECTIONS AND AB-USE IN LTCFs
DATA ANALYISIS:• descriptive (risk factors, infection & AB-use)
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:• feedback to all LTCFs yearly
ETHICAL CONSIDERATION:• data – not anonymous, but not identifiable by others
CONCLUSION
HALT is an „awareness” project
Start to improve national surveillance system for LTCFs
IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF RESIDENTS
Thank you for your attention and we are looking forward to the HALT2!
