Objective  To construct a quality evaluation index system for healthcare-associated infection (HAI) management, and conduct an empirical evaluation on the quality of HAI management in clinical departments. Methods  The literature research method and panel discussion method were adopted to initially form the framework of HAI management quality evaluation index system, and the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process were used to establish the index system and determine the weights from January to December 2018. Eight comprehensive evaluation methods, such as osculating value method and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method, were used to evaluate the quality of HAI management in clinical departments of West China Hospital, Sichuan University in 2018. Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (W) was used to assess the consistency of the results. The clinical departments were ranked by the standardized total scores, which were the means of the normalized scores of the eight methods. Results  A quality evaluation index system for HAI management with 3 first-level indicators and 15 second-level indicators was established finally. The results of the eight comprehensive evaluation methods for the quality evaluation of HAI management in 39 clinical departments of West China Hospital, Sichuan University were consistent (W=0.952, χ2=259.800, P<0.001). The standardized total score of Department 18 was 100, which ranked the first place. Conclusion  The HAI management quality evaluation index system constructed in this study could be used in clinical departments to evaluate the quality of HAI management in combination with comprehensive evaluation methods.
