Hospital infection control is not merely restricted to hand washing or personal protective measures. It encompasses a wider dimension. In fact, the way hospitals are designed have a bearing on the healthcare associated infections (HAIs) even before a single patient is admitted in the facility. Even the most stringent control measures will fail or have reduced impact on the overall scenario in face of poor planning and designing of the facility. It can be safely said that sound design promotes healthier outcomes. The principles of good engineering combine with scientific medical practices to produce desirable and favorable treatment outcomes.
