The “Chain of Infection” is a general infection prevention framework that can be used to evaluate the major elements that lead to HAIs and to identify modifiable risk factors that can be targeted to reduce future infections. Visualized here is the interplay of risk factors contributing to the development of a DRI and potential interventions to “break the link.”
