- Abstract
To identify the actions taken by the SCIH and Quality Management team to achieve the goal of reducing the risk of infections related to health care. Exploratory descriptive qualitative study, carried out in two hospitals. There was triangulation of data with interviews, observation and document analysis. For data analysis, content analysis was used. The most performed actions were permanent education, identification and correction of problems in procedures, active search, surveillance and hand hygiene. It was possible to identify the occurrence of adverse events. Communication and structural problems appear as difficulties in reaching the goal. The actions identified are traditional practices and are often inefficient. The prevention and control of infections are still challenges for health institutions. There is a need to adopt innovative strategies to achieve the goal of reducing the risk of infection related to healthcare.
