Through their design efforts healthcare architects and engineers
can have a significant influence on the prevention of infection
in healthcare environments. Increasingly, research is showing
that the built environment is a major factor in infection control,
but while the design of the healthcare facility is an important
consideration in the creation of healthy environments, there
are practical limits to the influence that design alone can
have. Infection prevention and control professionals, design
professionals and healthcare administrators should become
knowledgeable about how to work closely together and
incorporate healthy design principles into their facilities, whether
it is a new facility or simply a renovation or remodeling project.
The presenter will acquaint participants with the latest research
findings on how design can influence infection prevention and
control.
