Improving Infection Prevention Through Facility Design–An Update on the CDC/HRET Project

Because this session sounds just that good, we’ve taken the description directly from ASHE:  

In 2015 ASHE was invited to participate in a joint CDC/HRET project to develop materials aimed at improving infection prevention during health care facility planning, design, and construction. This session will describe this project and the materials under development and will illustrate how this information may be used by facility managers, designers, project managers, and clinicians.
