Ocampo W, et al. – This study was performed to understand the current practices and perceptions with respect to ward closure for hospital–acquired infectious disease outbreaks in acute care hospital settings across Canada. Findings revealed mixed results regarding the use of ward closure for containment of hospital–acquired infectious disease outbreaks in Canadian acute care health settings, with varying outbreak control methods. The successful implementation of ward closure was dependent on overall support for the infection prevention and control (IPC) team within hospital administration.
