Praxiswissen für Hygienebeauftragte

The job of hygiene officers in nursing is becoming more interesting and varied, but more expertise is also required. The creation and updating of hygiene plans based on facility- or even area-specific risk assessments, as required by the Robert Koch Institute, leads to cooperation with attending physicians. The MRGN as a critical group of multi-resistant pathogens, the spread of Clostridioides difficile, additions and updates according to new KRINKO recommendations are constant challenges. The new legal situation offers opportunities and obligations. This book contains suggestions for hygiene officers in care and rehabilitation facilities as well as advice for hygiene officers in hospitals to support them in their office in accordance with KRINKO/RKI recommendations and state hygiene ordinances. The fifth edition has been expanded to include the chapters on epidemics and pandemics, and the chapters on the Infection Protection Act and hygiene recommendations for care have been supplemented.
