De-implementation of performing a final disinfection for respiratory viruses

Research and the recently revised national guideline indicate that disinfection after cleaning rooms following the admission of people with a viral respiratory infection in healthcare facilities is not necessary. However, some Dutch healthcare facilities still perform disinfection. It remains unclear which de-implementation strategies can support the discontinuation of terminal disinfection in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes.

This project is a follow-up to the ENVI-GO-PAN project, which started in 2023.
