New PreMiEr Preprint: How Microbial Risk Assessment Is Used in Healthcare Environments

A new systematic review by PreMiEr researchers examines how quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) has been applied in healthcare settings, mapping the current state of the field and identifying gaps in how infection risks from environmental sources are measured and modeled. The review, published on Zenodo, provides a foundation for more consistent and rigorous use of QMRA tools to inform infection control decisions in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
