title: [Hospital infection control--beyond the hospital].
abstract: Health care related infections are expensive untoward events, not only in terms of morbidity and mortality, but also cost. Prevention is essential, as well as limiting dissemination. Specify measures refer usually to hospital hygiene. However, health care tend to be provided more and more outside of the acute care hospital, with increasing complexity and thus risk for health care related infections. This risk varies according to patient's characteristics as well as environmental parameters. Consequently, it is essential to adapt preventive measures to situations such as home health care or nursing homes. We describe a model of regional organization for infection control in various health care settings.
