北美的许多医院和长期护理设施目前允许动物探望他们的患者；然而，相关感染控制和预防政策的制定一直滞后，这在很大程度上是由于缺乏与动物互动相关的患者感染风险的科学证据。这份报告提供了卫生保健机构动物辅助干预的标准指南，并考虑了现有的证据。
Many hospitals and long-term care facilities in North America currently permit animals to visit with their patients; however, the development of relevant infection control and prevention policies has lagged, due in large part to the lack of scientific evidence regarding risks of patient infection associated with animal interaction. This report provides standard guidelines for animal-assisted interventions in health care facilities, taking into account the available evidence.
