Infection prevention and control practitioners are well versed in protecting patients from harm. Recent political, public and media attention about unsafe organisations has brought doubts into many minds as to the safety of our healthcare services. Infection prevention and control policies are the mainstay in ensuring compliance with best evidence-based practices, but with many mergers of community and secondary care infection prevention and control teams, policies have to be reviewed and revised to ensure they meet both organisational and patient/employer safety needs. This paper reflects contemporary literature around policy development. It will discuss how to develop, implement and evaluate comprehensive policies that will fit the needs of organisations while protecting their population of employees and patients.
感染预防与控制从业人员精通保护患者免受伤害。近期政治、公众和媒体对不安全机构的关注，让许多人对我们医疗服务的安全性产生了怀疑。感染预防与控制政策是确保遵循最佳循证实践的支柱，但随着社区和二级医疗感染预防与控制团队的多次合并，政策必须进行审查和修订，以确保它们满足组织以及患者/雇主的安全需求。本文反映了有关政策制定的当代文献。它将讨论如何制定、实施和评估全面的政策，这些政策既要符合组织的需求，又要保护其员工和患者群体。
