title: Designing an infection control program.
abstract: Designing and implementing an infection control program for home care poses many challenges. Some of these challenges stem from a long-standing lack of research and on-site expertise in the home care setting. Recent changes in health care and the proliferation of external regulations regarding home care practice further complicate the development of an effective and efficient infection control program.
