Abstract
|
|
|
|
The recent trends and future of infection control are anticipated to be as follows: Most hospitals will develop a nationwide network and cooperate with governmental and public institutions for infection control. The importance of environmental hygiene will be reappraised. Universal decolonization will be a mainstream intervention for the pre-emptive eradication of various nosocomial pathogens. Molecular technology could become a routine practice in many clinical fields. Advances in information technology (IT) will have a profound impact on infection control. For example, applications of big data and tracking technology using wearable devices are already underway. Infection control in the future will be a coordinated system involving governmental regulation, IT and molecular technology.
