Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review shows that healthcare environmental hygiene (HEH) interventions generally help reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and patient colonization, especially with multidrug-resistant microorganisms.
  • The study analyzed 26 relevant articles, finding most reported a decrease in infection rates and environmental bioburden after implementing HEH measures, highlighting their importance in infection prevention.
  • Despite the growing evidence, many healthcare institutions still undervalue the role of environmental hygiene in patient safety, emphasizing the need for increased focus and implementation of effective HEH strategies.

The other issues they cite are that studies that are published are often bundled interventions. Again aren’t most IPC measures bundled? Take this excellent SR on environmental decontamination discussed on IC matter podcast: https://t.co/5ifOR01NE7. @emrsa15 5/n
