We investigated whether and how infection prevention programs monitor for health disparities as part of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) surveillance through a survey of healthcare epidemiology leaders. Most facilities are not assessing for disparities in HAI rates. Professional society and national guidance should focus on addressing this gap.
我们通过对医疗流行病学领域领导者的调查,研究了感染预防计划是否以及如何将卫生差异监测作为医疗保健相关感染(HAI)监测的一部分。大多数机构并未评估 HAI 发生率方面的差异。专业学会和国家指南应重点关注这一差距。
