For example, delayed information and disorganized departmental communication cause patients to miss out on critical rescue time. Information technology is becoming more and more mature, and as a result, its use across numerous industries is now standard. China is still in the early stages of developing its integration of emergency medical services with modern information technology;despite our progress, there are still numerous obstacles and constraints to overcome. Our goal is to integrate information technology into every aspect of emergency patient care, offering robust assistance for both patient rescue and the efforts of medical personnel. Information may be communicated in a fast, multiple, and effective manner by utilizing modern information technology. This study aims to examine the current state of this field’s development, current issues, and the field’s future course of development.展开更多

The absence of infection control policies, guidelines and trained professionals also contributes to the magnitude of the problem. The aim of this study was to assess the Knowledge, attitude and practices towards infection control measures among healthcare workers at Old Mutare Hospital. <strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional survey design was used to acquire information. A purposive sampling method was used to select 22 nurses, 15 nurse Aids and 2 laboratory technicians (Lab Tech). A self-administered questionnaire with four components addressing demographic data, knowledge, attitudes and practices was used to collect data that was completed by a checklist. <strong>Results:</strong> The study findings revealed a poor knowledge of infection control measures among the nurse’s aide. The attitude and practices among participants were impartially good in all variables. The participants had scored over 50% towards their attitude and their practices on infection control. A significant statistical difference was found between the professional status of the participants and the ability to explain how one can get Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and awareness of infection control programs in their hospital (r<sub>s</sub> = 0.640, 0.645) with P < 0.05 (0.01, 0.01) respectively. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Despite of having a fair attitude and practice towards infection control, the participants had presented poor knowledge;therefore, it had been recommended that in service training and workshop should be planned by the administration to update their knowledge and attain full compliance towards their practice.展开更多
