Identitovigilance Identitovigilance aims to anticipate errors and risks that could result from poor patient identification. This is why, as soon as you are pre-admitted, you must provide your social security documents (vital card, Mutual, CMU, etc.) and a valid identity document (identity card, passport, residence permit, etc.). The major challenge is to ensure reliable and unique identification of patients from their arrival until they leave the establishment. The information on your identity document will be used to create identification labels that will follow you throughout your stay. For your safety, it is essential to verify your identity throughout your hospitalization. By complying with these formalities, you are helping us take care of you. Infectiovigilance An infection is said to be “nosocomial” if it appears during or following hospitalization and if it did not exist on admission. It can be directly related to care or simply occur during hospitalization regardless of any medical act. Most of the time this infection is not serious and can be treated with anti-infective drugs. The prevention of nosocomial infections is based on compliance with the rules and good practices recommended by learned societies: disinfection and sterilization of instruments, hand hygiene, bio-cleaning of the premises: visual and microbiological checks of the quality of the bio-cleaning are carried out, verification and control of technical and building installations (water network, air treatment, etc.), the preoperative preparation of patients before an intervention or a medical act. This is why you must strictly adhere to the hygiene and preparation instructions which have been detailed to you (pre-operative showers, visits, etc.). Materiovigilance The purpose of materiovigilance is to monitor incidents or the risk of incidents resulting from the use of medical devices (MD) after they have been placed on the market. Specific procedures must make it possible to guarantee the quality of their supply, their storage, their commissioning or their dispensation, the maintenance of their performance and their level of safety, their prescription and finally the training of those who have to use them. Materiovigilance is also a way to prevent faults on various medical devices. Indeed, in the event of a defect occurring on a MD, a material vigilance sheet is then completed and sent to the qualified person in the Clinic (local material vigilance correspondent), to the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM ) as well as to the manufacturer of the MD. Pharmacovigilance Pharmacovigilance is the monitoring of drugs and the prevention of the risk of adverse effects resulting from their use, whether this risk is potential or proven, etc. It is based on: le recueil basé sur la notification spontanée des effets indésirables par les professionnels de santé, les patients et associations agréées de patients et les industriels avec l’appui du réseau des 31 centres régionaux de pharmacovigilance ; l’enregistrement et l'évaluation de ces informations ; la mise en place d'enquêtes ou d'études pour analyser les risques, la participation à la mise en place et au suivi des plans de gestion des risques ; l’appréciation du profil de sécurité d’emploi du médicament en fonction des données recueillies ; la prise de mesures correctives (précautions ou restriction d’emploi, contre-indications, voire retrait du produit) et la communication vers les professionnels de santé et le public ; la communication et la diffusion de toute information relative à la sécurité d'emploi du médicament ; la participation à la politique de santé publique de lutte contre la iatrogénie médicamenteuse. L’Hémovigilance L’hémovigilance a pour objet l'ensemble des procédures de surveillance, d'évaluation et de prévention des incidents et effets indésirables survenant chez les donneurs ou les receveurs de produits sanguins labiles (PSL). Elle porte sur l'ensemble de la chaîne transfusionnelle, de la collecte des produits sanguins labiles jusqu'au suivi des receveurs. Au sein de la Clinique, un médecin hémovigilant est en rapport avec ses homologues de l’Etablissement Français du Sang (EFS) ainsi qu’avec le coordinateur régional d’hémovigilance de Poitou-Charentes pour le signalement, le suivi d’anomalies et la mise en œuvre coordonnée d’actions correctives pouvant impliquer toute étape de la longue chaîne de solidarité entre le donneur et le receveur. © GCS ESanté Poitou-Charentes Links, Partners and Associations • 33,040 Visits •
