Introduction: Multidisciplinary approaches of incorporating clinical care, epidemiological monitoring, nursing, radiology, nutrition, and administrative leadership are needed to manage infection control in healthcare. The organized teamwork and technologies, such as AI, improve patient safety and prevent healthcare-associated infections.

Aim: To investigate the effects of multidisciplinary care in enhancing infection control outcome in the epidemiology, clinical nutrition, nursing, radiology, health administration and nuclear medicine departments

Methods: Interprofessional collaboration, clinical practices, and the use of technology in infection prevention in various healthcare departments will be evaluated using a mixed-method design that will entail the use of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.

Findings: The use of multidisciplinary collaboration, role definition, AI-based epidemiological surveillance, and combined nursing and radiology services increase the efficacy of infection control and minimizes healthcare-associated risks.

Conclusion: Infection prevention requires the combination of different healthcare fields, technology usage, and administrative aid, which facilitates patient safety, fair care, and sustainable healthcare systems.
