Consensus approach recommends increased staffing for infection prevention in healthcare settings, suggesting broader team roles.
A new consensus-based staffing norm, endorsed by most Dutch IPC professionals, recommends an increase in IPCP. This reflects increased demands on IPC teams and suggests diversification of professionals working in IPC teams, not accounted for in the previous norm. This minimum norm is needed to effectively protect patients and healthcare workers from infections. Although this consensus was achieved in a Dutch setting, the method applied and overall outcome can be useful for other settings.
