How Infection Prevention and Occupational Health Intersect in Health Care Facilities | Infection Control Today
If you’ve ever been asked to track flu shots and handle a chemical splash in the same breath, you’ve met the IP–OH blur. Infection prevention and occupational health often intersect—but their missions differ. Knowing where each begins ensures safer patients, safer staff, and smoother responses.

🚨 According to a recent article in Infection Control Today, outpatient clinic waiting areas can easily become transmission hubs if proper infection-prevention measures aren’t in place. How are you protecting patients in outpatient settings?
Check-In to Contagion: Infection Prevention in Waiting Rooms | Infection Control Today
Crowded waiting rooms can turn routine checkups into transmission hubs. Here’s how outpatient clinics can cut risk, starting at the front door, with smarter cleaning, hand hygiene, masks, and fewer extra visitors.
