Development of the quality assessment information system for infection control in penitentiary institutions

Abstract The article describes the quality assessment system for infection control in penitentiary institutions that was developed using a mathematical model based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The following parameters were chosen as indicators of infection control quality level: HIV, tuberculosis, incidence of other infectious diseases, compliance with sanitary regulations and the water quality. The reliability and adequacy of the research has been proved. Quality assessment of infection control is an important criterion for the successful development of effective measures aimed at the improvement of the epidemiological situation in penitentiary institutions.
