In 2011, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) and Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) established a formal collaboration to develop the first IPC guideline. Both organizations agreed that RMH programs staff and other organizations operating similar programs would benefit from a standardized approach. In 2023, the collaboration was re-established to revise and update the original IPC guideline. This SHEA Practice Update on "Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) in Residential Facilities for Pediatric Patients and Their Families" addresses preventing transmission of infectious agents in "home away from home" residential settings, of which the Ronald McDonald Houses (RMHs) serve as a prototype.
2011年,美国医疗保健流行病学学会(SHEA)与罗纳德·麦当劳之家慈善机构(RMHC®)建立了正式合作关系,以制定首个感染预防与控制(IPC)指南。两个组织都认为,罗纳德·麦当劳之家项目的工作人员以及运营类似项目的其他组织将从标准化方法中受益。2023年,双方重新建立合作关系,以修订和更新原有的IPC指南。这份SHEA关于“儿科患者及其家庭居住设施中的感染预防与控制(IPC)”的实践更新报告,探讨了在“家外之家”居住环境中预防传染源传播的问题,其中罗纳德·麦当劳之家(RMHs)是这类设施的典范。
