Abstract

There is an urgent need for stronger protection from aerosol-transmissible diseases in healthcare settings-for workers, patients, volunteers, and visitors. Concerned that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) lacks diversity in expertise and experience and has not consulted widely with all concerned parties regarding a planned update to the 2007 Guideline for Isolation Precautions, a workshop was developed to consider the science and lessons learned before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sponsored by the New York/New Jersey Occupational Safety and Health Center, Preventing Aerosol-Transmissible Diseases in Healthcare Settings: The Need for Protective Guidelines and Standards was held on October 13, 2023, with these goals: describe current CDC/HICPAC infection prevention guidelines, review current scientific understanding of aerosol-transmissible pathogens, and consider perspectives from a wide range of groups currently excluded from the CDC HICPAC process.

在医疗机构预防气溶胶传播疾病：需要制定防护指南和标准--研讨会报告》。

在医疗机构中，工作人员、患者、志愿者和来访者迫切需要加强对气溶胶传播疾病的防护。美国疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）医疗保健感染控制实践咨询委员会（HICPAC）担心专业知识和经验缺乏多样性，而且没有就 2007 年《隔离防护指南》的更新计划广泛征求相关各方的意见，因此举办了一次研讨会，以探讨 COVID-19 大流行之前和期间的科学和经验教训。由纽约/新泽西职业安全与健康中心主办的 "在医疗保健环境中预防气溶胶传播疾病 "研讨会的主题是 "制定防护准则和措施的必要性"：该研讨会于 2023 年 10 月 13 日举行，其目标是：介绍当前的疾病预防控制中心/HICPAC 感染预防指南，回顾当前对气溶胶传播病原体的科学理解，并考虑目前被排除在疾病预防控制中心 HICPAC 流程之外的广泛群体的观点。

期刊介绍： New Solutions delivers authoritative responses to perplexing problems, with a worker’s voice, an activist’s commitment, a scientist’s approach, and a policy-maker’s experience. New Solutions explores the growing, changing common ground at the intersection of health, work, and the environment. The Journal makes plain how the issues in each area are interrelated and sets forth progressive, thoughtfully crafted public policy choices. It seeks a conversation on the issues between the grassroots labor and environmental activists and the professionals and researchers involved in charting society’s way forward with the understanding that lack of scientific knowledge is no excuse for doing nothing and that inaction is itself a choice.
