Elderly residents of long-term care facilities are especially vulnerable to certain infectious diseases such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and skin or soft tissue infections. As part of quality of care, the detection, control, and prevention of infections in long-term care facilities through an organized infection control program is a requirement of federal, state, and professional regulatory agencies. Implementation of the major components of an infection control program requires a cooperative interdisciplinary effort among the facility administration, medical director, infection control committee, infection control practitioner, staff, and local health department.
长期护理机构的老年居民特别容易感染某些传染病，如肺炎、尿路感染以及皮肤或软组织感染。作为护理质量的一部分，通过有组织的感染控制计划来检测、控制和预防长期护理机构中的感染，是联邦、州和专业监管机构的要求。实施感染控制计划的主要组成部分需要机构管理层、医疗主任、感染控制委员会、感染控制从业者、工作人员和当地卫生部门之间进行跨学科的合作。
