The task of hospital hygiene is to keep patients, visitors and employees healthy. Recognizing the risk of infection is the central prerequisite for a successful approach.
Numerous legal laws and regulations form the basis for all regular measures in all areas of the sports clinic. Risks are identified and necessary actions defined in cooperation with the hospital hygiene department.
We also attach great importance to prevention. For example, before admission to hospital, our patients are given a disinfectant for washing the whole body before an operation, as well as instructions on how to do this. Before major operations, for example in the field of endoprosthetics, a nasal gel is also given for use. These measures are used to minimize the risk of bringing germs with you from the outset and therefore also the risk of wound infection.
In addition, patients are asked about risk factors relating to MRSA bacteria before admission and a swab is taken from almost every patient beforehand and the patient is only admitted if the result is negative. The result of our approach is a very low wound infection rate.
Numerous statistics confirm our successful work, but also serve as a quality assurance measure.
Another important aspect is the regular advice and training of our employees. Patients, relatives and interested parties are informed about this important aspect by our specialists at regular campaign days on the subject of "hand hygiene". Since 2011, hospitals have also been able to receive awards as part of the "Clean Hands Campaign", confirming the quality of their hand hygiene. We are delighted to have been awarded the gold certificate for 2022/2023 and 2024/2025 after receiving the silver certificate in 2021/2022.
