  Abstract Since 2016, our hospital has implemented a urination-care team that evaluates the possibility of independent urination in inpatients with lower urinary tract dysfunction during the early stage after the withdrawal of a urethral catheter. The team also helps prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections and supports patients' urination independence. With this care, the promotion and maintenance of patients' healthy daily life activities, early discharges, and a decrease in the number of bedridden patients are expected. For a urinary-care team's optimal functioning, it is necessary to deepen the knowledge of the individual patients' conditions, improve the knowledge of the various urinary-care techniques, and work with medical personnel from different fields of medicine. Members of a urinary-care team should be aware of the following. (1) A urinary-care team should include a key person as a team leader in order to provide appropriate comprehensive urination care. (2) A urinary-care team should include at least one physician (most appropriately, the patient's primary physician) and at least one nurse, and effective communication and feedback among the team members is very important. (3) It is best that the team also has the supervision of the hospital's director and involves the director of the nursing service department, the head nurse, an office work manager, and others who may be deemed necessary. At our 600-bed hospital, all of the medical and support staff have deepened their understanding of the effectiveness of and benefits provided by our comprehensive urinary-care team following the team's demonstration of their ingenuity and dedication. The improvement of the medical welfare of a country's aging population, which includes the urinary care of all patients, will be in greater demand with each passing year. Key words: urination care team medical personnel, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, lower urinary tract dysfunction

  　View Summary

    In our hospital, <i>Legionella</i> monitoring in the shower water of bathrooms is conducted every year. <i>Legionella</i> was detected in only one of the sink taps of the fifth floor psychiatric ward bathroom in 2010, but <i>Legionella</i> was also detected in several showers and sink taps of the fourth floor obstetrics and gynecology ward, Maternity and Perinatal Care Center, and NICU in 2011. Furthermore, <i>L. pneumophila</i> serogroup 1 was detected in several components of the water system equipment except for bathrooms. Hoses were exchanged and water drained to eradicate <i>Legionella</i>, and rechecking was negative in all locations except the sink of the interview room in the Maternity and Perinatal Care Center. According to interviews with nurses, water drainage was not fully performed. We considered the departmental cooperative activities supporting the system of <i>Legionella</i> infection control in the hospital, and the arrangement and use of water system equipment at this time. We thought that the risk of <i>Legionella</i> becomes high with low frequency in use of water system equipment, because the infection center was on the fourth floor that is the bottom of the arrangement of water system equipment, and infection spread mostly from water system equipment with low frequency use in that location. The arrangement of a water supply system must be carefully examined, and the frequency of use of water system equipment monitored as part of measures against <i>Legionella</i>. For this reason, prompt cooperation between the infection control committee, responsible staff, and the equipment division, and information exchange are essential. We propose a guidance plan to ensure cooperation and exchange of information.<br>
