Infection control protocols are critical in preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in acute care settings. This review evaluates the effectiveness of various infection control measures, examining evidence-based practices, adherence rates, and outcomes. We analyse hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE), environmental cleaning, antimicrobial stewardship, and the role of healthcare workers (HCWs) in infection prevention. Additionally, we address the challenges and strategies for improving compliance and effectiveness of these protocols.
