In non-hospital healthcare facilities, such as clinics, infection control is too often not given the same level of attention as it is in hospitals. This can be due to limited resources, a lack of dedicated infection control specialists, and a general lower priority given to infection control measures. The consequences of this lack of attention is severe, with higher rates of infections, illnesses, and mortality seen in non-hospital healthcare facilities compared to hospitals. Furthermore, the financial impact of these infections can also be substantial, as treating infections and managing outbreaks is expensive.
