摘要
In 1994 health services in the Edmonton region were consolidated into an integrated network called Capital Health. Infection control professionals in the region met to develop a vision for the future of infection control; the tasks were to prepare a proposal for a regional program, develop indicators for outcome measurements, and standardize guidelines and products. Although regionalization of infection control is a complex process, we have had success with a proactive approach led by infection control professionals.
