Key Areas Addressed:

1. Perception of both patients and HCP regarding HCP attire in relation to professionalism and potential risk for transmission of microorganisms.
2. Evidence of contamination of HCP attire and the potential for HCP attire to contribution to the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms in hospital.

In addition , we preformed a survey of the SHEA membership and SHEA research network to learn more about the policies related to HCP attire that are currently in place in members institutions.
