title: What is the evidence behind recommendations for infection control?
abstract: Effective infection control is an integral part of patient safety and quality. Recommendations for infection control practices are based on evidence from studies as well as the clinical experience of experts. The emergence of care bundles that incorporate several evidence-based practices together have led to further reduction of HA1 and promise to improve antimicrobial stewardship.
