Background: Infection control is a critical component of patient safety in healthcare settings. Effective infection prevention strategies can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality rates associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This review aims to assess current infection control practices and their impact on patient safety outcomes. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2018 and 2024 that evaluated infection control measures and patient safety outcomes. A total of 150 articles were initially identified, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 35 studies met the criteria for analysis. Data on infection rates, adherence to guidelines, and patient outcomes were extracted and analyzed. Results: The review revealed that adherence to hand hygiene protocols, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and environmental cleaning were the most frequently implemented infection control measures. Improved adherence to these practices was associated with a significant reduction in HAIs and enhanced patient safety outcomes, including reduced length of hospital stays and lower rates of readmission. However, barriers to adherence, such as lack of staff training and inadequate resources, were identified. Conclusion: The review highlights the importance of robust infection control practices in improving patient safety outcomes. Continuous training, resource allocation, and regular monitoring of compliance with infection control guidelines are essential to sustain improvements in patient safety. Discussion: The findings of this review underscore the need for a multifaceted approach to infection control, involving education, policy implementation, and ongoing evaluation of practices. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of enhanced infection control strategies on patient safety and the integration of technological advancements in infection prevention.
