Health Ministry issues set of indicators to assess hospital safety for COVID-19
The Ministry of Health has released a set of indicators to evaluate the safety level of a hospital.
The indicators provide information on prevention and control of COVID-19 and other acute respiratory diseases at hospitals, as well as guidance on how to deliver safe medical services and prevent cross-infection among patients and health care workers.
The 37 indicators, divided into eight chapters, have a total score of 150, which are used to classify hospitals based on levels of safety.
A hospital rated as “safe” must reach more than 75 per cent of the maximum score with no indicators scoring zero.
A “low safety” hospital must obtain 50-75 per cent of the maximum score with no indicators scoring zero.
A hospital rated “unsafe” scores below 50 per cent of the maximum score or has any indicator at zero. — VNS
