Abstract

The pathogens of infection are transmitted in health care centers in various ways and from a variety of sources such as air, water, food, insects, and rodents and possibly animals such as cats, patients themselves, medical personnel, visitors, cleaners, surfaces, tools and devices. Tools and surfaces are a major source of infection transmission, and a recent study showed that a large percentage of the phones of health sector workers showed the presence of pathogenic bacteria on the surfaces of their phones (96%). Other studies indicate that physicians and health workers' pens also contain a high level of microbes. Medical keyboards, touchscreens and many more devices that cannot be disinfected easily are a great place for germs to stick and potentially multiply. Healthcare quality is the level of value (interest) provided by any health care source according to what some measures specify. As with quality in any other field, it is about assessing whether something is good enough and if it is fit for purpose. The goal of healthcare is to provide high-quality medical resources to all who need them; This is in order to ensure a good quality of life, treat diseases wherever possible, supply life expectancy etc. Researchers use a variety of quality measures to try to determine the quality of health care.
