The Journal of Infection Prevention focuses on strategies and interventions to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the transmission of infectious agents. This includes research on the effectiveness of various preventive measures such as hand hygiene, skin preparation, catheter care bundles, and antimicrobial stewardship programs. The journal also explores the role of education, technology, and interprofessional collaboration in infection control, as well as the impact of these interventions on patient outcomes and healthcare costs.
