This article will consider possible future directions for innovation and research in infection prevention and control, and will make the case for the importance of including clinical and cost-effectiveness evaluation in such research. Opportunities for studies in a number of broad subject areas will be considered, including prevention and control of existing and emerging infection hazards, the challenges posed by changes in the way that medical care is being delivered, technological developments that could be harnessed for infection prevention and control, how new laboratory diagnostic technologies might benefit infection prevention and control, cleaning and decontamination, and the infection control aspects of hospital design. The need for robust economic data to support the wide and timely implementation of evidence-based practice is emphasized.
本文将探讨感染预防与控制领域未来可能的创新和研究方向，并阐述在此类研究中纳入临床和成本效益评估的重要性。我们将考虑多个广泛主题领域的研究机会，包括现有和新出现感染危害的预防与控制、医疗服务提供方式变化带来的挑战、可用于感染预防与控制的技术发展、新的实验室诊断技术如何有益于感染预防与控制、清洁与去污，以及医院设计中的感染控制方面。文中强调了获取有力经济数据以支持循证实践广泛且及时实施的必要性。
