Assessments and observations of infection prevention and control practices in US outpatient hemodialysis facilities, 2015–2018: important opportunities for improvement
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2024
Abstract
Infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality among patients receiving care in outpatient hemodialysis facilities. We describe comprehensive infection prevention assessments by US public health departments using standardized interview and observation tools. Results demonstrated how facility layouts can undermine infection prevention and that clinical practices often fall short of policies.
