Transforming Infectious Waste Management Through Digital Dashboards: The Napalai Hospital Experience, Thailand
Data from 29 staff members revealed that 79.3% demonstrated high knowledge, 82.76% had positive attitudes, and 89% exhibited effective behaviors. Strong correlations were found between knowledge and attitudes (r = 0.602, p < 0.001) and attitudes and behaviors (r = 0.673, p < 0.001). Over time, post-intervention surveys showed improvements in knowledge retention and behavioral compliance. The dashboard, integrated with IoT and BI analytics, provided real-time tracking, compliance alerts, and waste trend analysis. The study highlights the effectiveness of digital interventions in optimizing infectious waste management and ensuring regulatory compliance.
