Objectives:
The advisory system for infection control in small- and medium-sized hospitals and clinics, developed in 2012, aims to establish effective infection control programs. In this study, we analyzed policy results from 2012 to September 2025 and proposed further improvement strategies.
Methods:
The advisory system operates through regional networks and offers on-site consultations, training programs, and consultations via an online platform. Operational evaluations measure participation and satisfaction using specific indicators for each service modality.
Results:
Platform membership has grown consistently, reaching 14,106 cumulative members by September 2025, alongside increased participation in on-site consultations. Participant satisfaction remained high, with >80% satisfied with online consultations during the last 3 years.
Conclusions:
The system has accumulated over 10 years of policy experience, strengthening the infection control capabilities of small- and medium-sized hospitals and applying tailored programs. Future efforts should enhance regional networks and reinforce the role of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and local governments.
