Today getting rid of this waste especially in hospitals has known as one of the most significant environment challenges in all developed and developing countries. Improper hospital waste management in many of countries like Iran causes disposal of hospital waste without considering environmental and technical issues causes harmful effects on human and the environment. Therefore managing of hospital waste is one of the most complicated problems for government in all countries that involves many expenses. The study aimed at decreasing the amount of infectious waste by using a quality model. Methods: In this study, we performed a quality improvement model to interfere generation of waste in a public university affiliated hospital in shiraz- Iran. In this study, we tried to decrease the amount of infectious waste by using this model. Hospital waste was weighted in two stages, before and after performing model. The descriptive statistics was used to compare the results of two phases. Results: Prior to accomplishing this model, the daily average of waste production was 813 kg for infectious waste and 83 kg for non-infectious wastes that contains kitchen wastes only. Total amount of daily medical wastes in inpatient wards was 594kg (3.4 kg per occupancy bed-day). Therefore, infectious waste was 90.7% of the total amount of hospital waste. After accomplishing the model, it decreased to 57.6%. Conclusion: Using the quality improvement model, infectious waste production has been decreased by 33.1%. Therefore, hospital can use the quality model to decrease their infectious waste production.

The most of the hospitals waste are hazardous waste. If the separation, collection, transportation, and disposal of that waste have not done properly, then not only it has side effects on hospitals employees and patients, but also it will affect badly on human and the society indirectly. Based on this fact the hospital wastes management (in Bookan, Mahabad, Saqqez,and Myandoab-eastern ) will be investigated. Methods: This research had carried out based on a checklists, and direct observations in the year 2004. The research community is the public hospitals of above-mentioned cities. Results: Our research findings showed that despite of waste separation, the process has not been 100% completed. In some cases, they were mixed. In 75% of cases the transportation have been done by trowel and 25% by cart, 50% of hospitals had incinerators, but based on the observations the performance of quality was not desired. In 25% of cases, infectious wastes were separated, and in 25% of cases, wastes were delivered to other hospitals to burn. The cooling systems were not available for any cases and in all hospitals the waste disposal have been done 50% with other municipal wastes, and 50% were buried separately. Conclusions: The direct and continuous supervision up and on hospital waste management is a very important issues and it is of all authorities responsibilities to pay attention more often.
