According to ANIPIO, the 5 practices at risk of inappropriateness look not only at practices with regard to the issue of infectious risk, but also at the protection of our environment. The 5 practices are raised from a careful analysis shared with all members of the Scientific Society, supported by EB, literature review, and comparison with national and international studies. The methodological approach was cared by the ANIPIO GREEN practices working group. Betting as soon as possible on an effective accountability of organizations, professionals and patients, with regard to issues such as the environment and people’s health is crucial for all of us. As a Scientific Society, we have the duty of anticipating future actions and promoting cultural change through awareness-raising campaigns.

How this list was created

ANIPIO (Scientific Society of Nurses Specialised in Infectious Disease) is a scientific association that works with all healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations and the public at large. The “Heart” of ANIPIO is the control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in all healthcare settings. Infections are a real concern for public health. In fact, a study of prevalence in 30 European countries found that 1 patient in 18 contracts one of these infections in hospital. The 5 practices at risk of being inappropriate for ANIPIO, according to the principle of Slow Medicine “doing more does not mean doing better”, came from a careful analysis shared with all members supported by EB, review of the literature, comparison with national and international studies and sharing with patients/public. The methodological approach was organized by the Academy of Nursing Sciences (ASI).
