Keating JA, Parmasad V, McKinley L, Safdar N. Integrating infection control and environmental management work systems to prevent Clostridioides difficile infection. American journal of infection control. 2023 Dec 1; 51(12):1444-1448.
Effective infection prevention and control within health care settings requires collaboration and coordination between infection control and environmental management teams. However, the work systems of these teams can be difficult to integrate despite their shared goals. We provide results from a qualitative study of Clostridioides difficile infection prevention in Veterans Affairs facilities regarding challenges in coordination between these teams and opportunities to improve coordination and maximize infection prevention activities.
