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).
