title: The acquired experience and the programs for the prevention of nosocomial infections in Lombardy.
abstract: The authors present organization of Lombardy in the nosocomial infections' control. In particular they expose characteristics of Regional Coordination of the Hospital Committees (CR-CIO) and the plans for the CR-CIO in the two year period 2006-2007. Preliminary results of work groups show that the main problems in the control strategies are the difficulties in implementing theoretical notions in care programs. So it is therefore necessary to continue along this path to reach further goals and eventually change the adopted organizational.
