Infection Control Programs

With the increased prevalence of immunosuppressed patient populations and recurrent construction in the healthcare industry, hospitals may experience increased nosocomial infection rates associated with Aspergillus and Legionella infections.  To minimize these patient health risks and to comply with AIA and Joint commission standards, hospitals should implement an infection control program for construction activities.
