Abstract
This evaluative study addresses the critical issue of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) within the Iraqi public healthcare sector through the lens of Total Quality Management (TQM). The research aims to identify and analyze the primary dimensions of quality—such as reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—as they relate to infection control protocols in government hospitals. The authors argue that the prevalence of HAIs is not merely a clinical failure but a systemic administrative challenge that can be mitigated by adopting rigorous quality standards. The study utilizes an evaluative methodology to assess current practices, examining the gap between existing infection control measures and international quality benchmarks. Key findings highlight that deficiencies in technical infrastructure, insufficient continuous training for medical staff, and administrative bottlenecks significantly contribute to high infection rates. Ultimately, the paper proposes a strategic framework for Iraqi hospitals to integrate quality dimensions into their operational routines. It emphasizes the necessity of institutional commitment, standardized monitoring systems, and the fostering of a "safety culture" to enhance patient outcomes and restore trust in the governmental health system.
