Airborne
Infectious agents that remain infectious over long distances when suspended
in the air. Airborne transmission occurs by dissemination of either air-borne
droplet nuclei or small particles in the respirable size range containing
infectious agents that remain infective over time and distance.




Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
A federal agency of the U.S. government that provides facilities and services
for the investigation, identification, prevention and control of disease.




Cohorting
practice of grouping patients who are colonized or infected with the same
infectious agent together to confine their care to one area and prevent contact
with susceptible patients (cohorting patients). During outbreaks, healthcare
personnel may be assigned to a cohort of patients to further limit opportunities
for transmission (cohorting staff).

, Droplet
A small drop, such as a particle of moisture discharged from the mouth during
coughing, sneezing, or speaking; these may transmit infections while airborne
to others. Respiratory droplets carrying infectious pathogens transmit infection
when they travel directly from the respiratory tract of the infectious individual
to susceptible mucosal surfaces of the recipient, generally over short
distances.




Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC)
Federal advisory committee assembled to provide advice and guidance to the
centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) and the secretary of the
department of health and human services (HHS) regarding the practice of
infection control and strategies for surveillance, prevention and control of
healthcare associated infections, anti microbial resistance and related events
in the US health care settings.




Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
A private voluntary not for profit group that provides accreditation to US
hospitals and other health care facilities
