In 2015 ASHE was invited to participate in a joint CDC/HRET project to develop materials aimed at improving infection prevention during health care facility planning, design, and construction. This session will describe this project and the materials under development and will illustrate how this information may be used by facility managers, designers, project managers, and clinicians.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the overall CDC/HRET project and ASHE’s role in the project
Provide an overview of the content that will be provided in each chapter
Explain how this material may be used during planning, design, and construction to optimize infection prevention
Outline the final deliverables and time line for the project
