“…In contrast to the recommendations published in 1998, the guidance that follows is not intended solely for acute care hospitals but rather has applicability for all healthcare settings. This document also serves as a companion to the core competency documents "Guidance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology Programs: Healthcare Epidemiologist Skills and Competencies" by Kaye et al 5 and "Guidance for the Knowledge and Skills Required for Antimicrobial Stewardship Leaders" by Cosgrove et al, 6 and it complements the work of Moody et al, 7 "Antimicrobial Stewardship: A Collaborative Partnership Between Infection Preventionists and Healthcare Epidemiologists." core activities of the ipc/he program Surveillance Surveillance (case finding), data collection and analysis, and reporting these findings are the critical functions of IPC.…”

“…Il a été démontré que l'antibiothérapie inutile représente un lourd fardeau de l'utilisation inappropriée des antimicrobiens au Canada (1-4). En raison de préoccupations croissantes à propos du lien entre l'utilisation d'antimicrobiens et la résistance aux antimicrobiens, une réorientation vers une utilisation plus prudente des antimicrobiens a été l'un des domaines mis en évidence pour la lutte contre la propagation de la résistance aux antimicrobiens (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…The objective data from implementation of these measures are proven extremely important in the context of continuous quality improvements. The low numbers in MRSA epidemiology in northern European countries are attributed to the success of the ICAS initiatives, also refl ecting the importance of the compliance of the health care personnel in their clinical practices and the cultural dimensions of the fi ght against Hospital Acquired Infections [ 17 ].…”

In the current socioeconomic environment, where the hospitals are under pressure to decrease costs, the staggering fi nancial and social burden of the hospital-acquired and the Surgical Site Infections, become an important and largely preventable patient safety problem. Cost is a parameter that needs to be considered when clinical practices are assessed. Understanding the true societal costs of the musculoskeletal infections occurring either during the hospital stay or thereafter, is crucial and further research is required with regard to the comparative effectiveness of specifi c interventions. Infection prevention, early diagnosis, and immediate intervention for an effective management have become a focus of attention for patients, prayers, and regulatory organizations now demanding accountability and reductions in the rates of periprosthetic infections. It is necessary for all Orthopedic surgeons and health care settings to adhere to evidence-based best practices such as prophylactic antibiotic use, surgical site skin-preparation techniques, and hand hygiene rules and also to constantly adhere to all preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative interventions that could effectively prevent infection. Rigorous economic evaluation and formal cost-effectiveness analysis comparing various infection control and prevention strategies are required, and this research should be conducted from multiple perspectives. Orthopaedic surgeons, the allied infection specialist physicians and researchers should rather engage with health policy makers, funding agencies and the industry in a co-ordinated effort to urgently address the adverse health and economic burden from the musculoskeletal infections, the problem of the antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the scarcity of new classes of antibacterial drugs on the health-care systems and society. It is essential to have priorities and take appropriate mea-
