One of the key components for limiting spread of healthcare–associated infectious disease is the practice of adequate infection control. A cornerstone of infection control is ensuring that healthcare workers wash their hands at appropriate times. Some reports suggest that role models, group behavior, and the level of managerial support influence reported levels of compliance. However, few studies have prospectively evaluated the association between hand-hygiene compliance and building design.

Infection prevention is a major concern in dental healthcare settings. Patients and dental healthcare professionals may be exposed to pathogenic bacteria and viruses (e.g. cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, HIV, staphylococci) that colonize or infect the respiratory tract or the oral cavity. These pathogens can be transmitted through direct contact, indirect contact with contaminated surfaces, droplets, and airborne microorganisms.

It has been recognized that observing hand hygiene practices in intensive care environments is crucial to the prevention and management of the spread of healthcare associated infections (HCAIs). NICU infants are at a higher risk given their varying stages of underdeveloped immune systems, varying degrees of dependence on instruments, invasive procedures, and contact with healthcare providers.
