摘要
Little information exists on the state of infection control (IC) practices in ambulatory sites. In preparation for a JCAHO survey, 62 ambulatory sites were visited to monitor and improve IC practices. A dedicated IC practitioner was instrumental in improving practices at ambulatory sites and in successfully completing a JCAHO survey (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2004;25: 348-350).
