To gain a better understanding of the relationship between state and local health departments and the hospital-based infection prevention community, including the potential impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding on those relationships, a survey was developed by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and distributed in 2011. This report describes the survey findings and presents an initial assessment of factors identified by infection preventionists as the most important in developing an effective relationship with health departments. Opportunities for improvement are also described. This preliminary analysis provides an initial baseline for further investigation to clarify the optimum approaches for ongoing collaboration.
为了更好地了解州和地方卫生部门与医院感染预防界之间的关系，包括 2009 年美国复苏与再投资法案资金对这些关系的潜在影响，感染控制和流行病学专业人员协会与州和地区流行病学家理事会合作制定了一项调查，并于 2011 年进行了分发。本报告描述了调查结果，并介绍了感染预防人员确定的、在与卫生部门建立有效关系方面最重要的因素的初步评估。还描述了改进的机会。这一初步分析为进一步调查提供了初步基准，以明确持续合作的最佳方法。
