Nosocomial infections are a common and significant issue in healthcare facilities, which can have negative impacts on social health and even directly or indirectly affect the entire community. Existing studies and research have consistently demonstrated that the healthcare environment can be a reservoir for organisms that have the potential to infect patients. Among the problems that these infections create for health organizations include increased mortality, prolonged hospital stays, increased use of drugs and tests, long-term physical and psychological problems, and additional costs for healthcare. Although nosocomial infections are a major threat to patient safety, they are largely preventable through the promotion of various strategies. In the present study, the research was conducted through the following steps: Initially, a study and review of the research background was conducted to extract architectural strategies effective in controlling nosocomial infections. In this part of the research, an analytical-descriptive method was used, and for this stage, library studies, articles, and design criteria and standards for medical centers were used. The output of these studies is a table of strategies that is included at the end of Chapter Two. Then, by adopting a case study approach, the manner and extent of the application of the strategies extracted from the theoretical literature of Chapter Two were examined in the context of hospitals. In the first step, through a structured questionnaire, the extent of the application of each of these strategies in the studied hospitals was eva‎luated. In the following, through a deeper analysis of the plan of the two selected medical centers, the practical conditions of the most applicable strategies were analyzed.
