Development of "Standards for the Evaluation of Hospital Infection Control Policies and Procedures, the Second Version".
The Japan Society for Quality in Health Care (JSQua) created "Standards for the Evaluation of Hospital Infection Control Policies and Procedures, the First Version" in 1998 and carried out third-party surveys. Through the experience of those surveys, we revised the standards and created a second version in 1999. The surveyors felt that in using the second version of the standards it would be easier to evaluate the quality of hospital care and that these standards would be more widely applied.
