Selection of Infection Assessment Site Using Fishbone Diagram

Infection assessment is an important part of healthcare that helps in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. Choosing the most appropriate site for infection assessment is essential for accurate and timely diagnosis, reducing the risk of complications and improving patient treatment outcomes. In aviation, it is very important to avoid economic losses, and these also arise when staff are absent. In this paper presents a novel approach to guide the selection of sites for infection assessment using a fishbone diagram in an aircraft repair and maintenance facility. This research explores the creation and use of a fishbone diagram specific to infection assessment with factors divided into branches such as patient characteristics, infection type, workspace, and clinical context. By visually representing these factors, the fishbone diagram aids in organizing complex information and offers a structured approach to decision-making and actual planning of maintenance interventions. The paper highlights the potential of using the fishbone diagram as a decision support tool for infection site selection in aircraft repair and maintenance facilities and introduces the detailed methodology and results presented in the full research paper.
