Objective To analyze the risk factors for hospital infection in the medical physical examination center of a newly opened hospital, and to explore its prevention and control measures. Methods Between April and December 2012, we analyzed the risk factors for hospital infection in the physical examination center of a new hospital. A series of hospital infection prevention and control measures such as carrying out education and training of medical personnel, strengthening the prevention of needle stick injuries, implementing strict disinfection and sterilization, improving environmental hygiene, and implementing medical waste management, were developed. Results Medical staff's knowledge of disinfection and sterilization was improved; hand hygiene compliance was increased; hospital environmental hygiene was promoted, and medical waste was properly sorted out. Conclusion Taking reasonable measures for infection prevention and control can increase medical staff's awareness of hospital infection prevention and control, improve their practices of infection control and prevent hospital infections from occurring eventually.
