Sammanfattning
This is a report of a multidisciplinary project conducted at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. The aim was to study and reduce potential risk factors for the spread of health-care associated infections
in the near-patient environment. A process beginning with an observation study conducted by two observers of which one was an industrial designer or a psychologist was used. Bacterial screenings were used to
verify factors identified during the observations. The main focus of activities to reduce the identified risks was mainly to improve the cleaning. Improved cleaning routines reduced the microbiological level
significantly.
