The Reduction of Healthcare-Associated Infections through the Built Environment: The Infection Prevention Prototype Patient Room

Come and learn the outcomes from a built prototype inpatient room at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, designed expressly for infection prevention. Review which strategies, materials, and technologies were deployed and learn the process for their selection, including the input from infection prevention officers. Attendees will view data on how the room, constructed and tested in the spring of 2017, is performing in terms of microbe suppression and ease of cleanability. See which interventions appear to be most successful and which strategies will be applied to the next version of the prototype.
