Rolfsen C, Rønning PO, Bull JL, Chițonu. A study into prevention of antibiotics resistance throughenhanced building infrastructure design and managementstrategies. IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering. 2020;789 https://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/789/1/012055Abstract
This study is part of a larger research project, which looks at how modern hospitals are built in Norway, and what can be done to make hospitals more user friendly and purpose built. It looks at how medical facilities can be made to encourage a quicker improvement in the patient’s recovery, and what effect the way modern hospitals are being built and operated, has on the patients, the employees and to the visitors to the health facilities. A key focus of the research is to look at nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infections) from medical care and to study the prevalence of antibiotic resistance at these facilities. The project aims to find conclusions and areas of improvement along larger parts of the hospital and patient chain. The greater research project aims to look at this scientific field through studies in 3 countries, in Northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Europe, to get an idea of the inter-European challenges in a very complicated scientific field, with different financial resources, cultures, focuses, and approaches to the frequency of use of antibiotics.
