Title: Relationship between hospital ward design and healthcare-associated infection rates: a systematic review and meta-analysis Document date: 2016_11_29
ID: 1u12mv0o_34
Snippet: The review shows that single-patient rooms are a significant infection control measure in preventing transmission of pathogens from one patient to another due to the fact that no contact transmission can occur either directly from a roommate or indirectly from a healthcare worker taking care of a roommate. Moreover, boundaries that enhance the health care workers' hand hygiene compliance rate are more firmly established [35] . Conversely, infecti.....
Document: The review shows that single-patient rooms are a significant infection control measure in preventing transmission of pathogens from one patient to another due to the fact that no contact transmission can occur either directly from a roommate or indirectly from a healthcare worker taking care of a roommate. Moreover, boundaries that enhance the health care workers' hand hygiene compliance rate are more firmly established [35] . Conversely, infections can also be caused by the acquisition of pathogens from a prior room occupant [36] . However, a single patient room is considerably easier to clean after the discharge of a patient. Therefore, the risk of environmental contamination could be reduced in comparison to larger and more heavily equipped multi-patient bedrooms.
