How can infection control be improved in healthcare settings?
Infection control is critical to preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Strict adherence to hand hygiene protocols, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and regular disinfection of surfaces and equipment are fundamental practices. Educating staff on infection control protocols and conducting compliance audits can further reinforce these practices. Implementing isolation procedures for contagious patients and promoting vaccination among healthcare workers are additional measures that can improve infection control.
