Hospitals constantly evolve through construction, renovation, and maintenance (CRM) activities, which pose infection risks, especially for immunocompromised patients. Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) helps mitigate these risks by identifying hazards, implementing containment measures, and ensuring compliance with global safety standards. Effective ICRA reduces hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), protects healthcare workers, optimizes resources, and enhances patient safety. By integrating infection control strategies during CRM, hospitals can prevent outbreaks, safeguard patient health, and maintain excellence in healthcare infrastructure. Prioritizing ICRA ensures that progress in hospital development does not come at the cost of patient safety.
