According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most health care-associated infections (HAIs) are caused by contamination from the hands of health care providers or patients, contamination from the environment, and contamination from the patient's own skin. To mitigate common sources of infection transmission, frontline health care providers must be compliant with basic infection-prevention interventions, including hand hygiene, environmental cleaning and disinfection, safe injection practices, and designation of a trained health care professional to be responsible for the infection prevention and control program. Integration of CDC recommendations should incorporate a bundled approach to these interventions and should be part of a comprehensive approach to infection prevention and control. Effective infection-prevention practices in outpatient settings are critical for reducing the risk of infection transmission, improving patient safety and patient outcomes, and reducing costs associated with health care delivery.
根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，大多数医疗保健相关感染（HAIs）是由医疗保健提供者或患者的手部污染、环境污染以及患者自身皮肤污染引起的。为了减少感染传播的常见源头，一线医疗保健提供者必须遵守基本的感染预防干预措施，包括手部卫生、环境清洁与消毒、安全注射操作，以及指定一名经过培训的医疗保健专业人员负责感染预防与控制计划。将CDC的建议整合起来，应该采用综合的方法来实施这些干预措施，并且应该成为全面感染预防与控制方法的一部分。门诊环境中有效的感染预防措施对于降低感染传播风险、提高患者安全和改善患者预后，以及降低医疗保健服务相关成本至关重要。
