We reviewed infection prevention policies using an adapted Equity Impact Assessment tool. Thirty-one percent of policies had substantial potential to impact marginalized groups and create or sustain inequities, and most lacked existing equity considerations. Systematic policy review for equity implications can result in actions to improve care and quality.
我们使用一种经过调整的公平影响评估工具来审查感染预防政策。31%的政策有极大潜力影响边缘化群体,并造成或维持不平等现象,而且大多数政策缺乏现有的公平考量。对政策公平影响进行系统性审查可促成改善医疗和质量的行动。
