Overview

Infection control risk assessment is the systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing infection hazards in healthcare settings to guide prevention strategies and resource allocation. Research published in the International Journal of Infection Prevention examines this topic across diverse clinical contexts and geographic settings. Studies have addressed infection prevention and control measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in healthcare facilities, including adaptations to screening practices and tuberculosis infection control protocols that required reassessment during concurrent disease threats. The journal has also published investigations into surgical site infections, examining both the persistent challenges these infections present and specific risk factors associated with procedures such as cesarean sections, where assessment of patient-specific and procedural risks informs management approaches. This body of work reflects the practical application of risk assessment principles in low- and middle-income countries as well as in specialized surgical contexts, demonstrating how structured evaluation of infection risks supports evidence-based decision-making. The topic remains critically important because effective risk assessment enables healthcare facilities to allocate limited resources appropriately, protect both patients and healthcare workers, and adapt infection control measures to emerging threats and local epidemiological conditions.
