Preventing transmission of COVID-19 between healthcare workers is essential to optimize patient, employee, and organizational outcomes. We used a systems engineering approach to analyze contact tracing interviews from a cluster of COVID-19 at our healthcare institution and identified modifiable and non-modifiable causes of transmission. Similar work system analyses may be useful to institutions in identifying multiple factors contributing to infection clusters among healthcare workers, and in developing layered infection prevention methods to further reduce transmission.
预防医护人员之间 COVID-19 的传播对于优化患者、员工和组织的结果至关重要。我们使用系统工程方法分析了我们医疗机构 COVID-19 聚集事件的接触者追踪访谈，并确定了传播的可修改和不可修改原因。类似的工作系统分析对于医疗机构识别导致医护人员感染集群的多种因素，并开发分层感染预防方法以进一步减少传播可能是有用的。
