title: [Data on the status of the organizational structures of hospital hygiene in Germany. II--Rehabilitation clinics, psychiatric hospitals].
abstract: The results of an inquiry about the personnel and organisation of the hospital hygiene in 657 German rehabilitation centres and psychiatric hospitals demonstrate that 24% of these hospitals have a hospital epidemiologist, 44% have infection control nurses and 74% infection control physicians. Infection control committees are present in 64% of these hospitals. 78% of the hospitals use the guideline of the Federal Public Health Office "On the Identification, Prevention and Control of Hospital Infections" as a basis for all decisions on hospital hygiene.
