What if the next infection risk was built into your walls before the first patient ever arrived? In this episode of Transmission Control, we sit down with Alyson Prince-Byrne, an experienced Built Environment Infection Control Specialist, to explore how infrastructure decisions shape patient safety long before occupancy. From water stagnation and dead legs to ventilation design and commissioning gaps, Alyson explains why "meeting code" doesn't always mean designing for safety. She connects construction missteps to real-world outcomes like Legionella, Pseudomonas, and NTM—infections that often hit the most vulnerable patients hardest. Whether you're involved in new construction, renovation, or water management, this conversation will have you looking at your facility through a completely new lens.
