The Health Protection Agency of the UK created a Prevention
and control of infection in care homes best practice guidelines summary for
staff, which outlines in a clear graphical format different aspects of
infection prevention and control relevant to staff working in long term care.
The “Chain of Infection” cyclical graphic provides an overview
of the process by which a resident acquires any type of infection and provides
recommendations for staff on how to break the cycle of infection through
simple, consistent infection prevention and control precautions.
