Objective  To understand the current situation of nosocomial infection management quality control centers at the municipal and county levels in Guizhou, so as to provide measures for promoting the construction of nosocomial infections management quality control centers at all levels in Guizhou. Methods  From September 26th to October 12th 2023, based on the mobile network platform survey questionnaire of the infection prevention and control workshop, a survey was conducted on the establishment, personnel, information technology level, management, and quality control work of the nosocomial infection management quality control centers at the municipal and county levels in Guizhou. Results  Nine prefecture-level cities/autonomous prefectures in Guizhou had established municipal-level nosocomial infection management quality control centers. The professional background of the staff at the municipal and county-level quality control centers was mainly nursing (accounting for 36.4% and 58.4%, respectively), and their educational background was mainly undergraduate (accounting for 70.5% and 83.3%, respectively). No quality control center at the municipal or county level had established an information-based quality control platform for nosocomial infection management within the region. Most county-level quality control centers did not have special funds (87.5%), and there were still 16 (25.0%) county-level quality control centers that had not established relevant systems for work and management. The main forms of quality control work carried out by each center were organizing training, on-site inspections, guidance and evaluation, and most of them were conducted irregularly. Conclusions  Guizhou has basically formed a quality control system for nosocomial infection management at the provincial, municipal, and county levels. However, the nosocomial infection management quality control network has not fully covered all districts, and policies, funding support, and personnel allocation are still insufficient. Health administrative departments and quality control centers at all levels need to unify monitoring standards and quality control norms, strengthen supervision, improve quality control capabilities, and improve training systems to achieve standardization and normalization of quality control work throughout the province and improve quality control efficiency.
