The implementation of complex infection control bundles to prevent colorectal surgical site infections: a survey of SHEA research network hospitals
Our study found significant variability in the implementation of bundles consisting of multiple infection control elements to prevent SSI in clinical practice. Further research is needed to determine the strategies most effective in optimizing high-fidelity adoption of complex prevention bundles and to study their effect on SSI in colorectal surgery.
