The JCAHO requires hospitals and other accredited facilities to have a comprehensive infection control program. Because the JCAHO's new survey process calls for more survey time on patient units, surveyors will be concentrating heavily on proper infection control techniques. This concise, pocket-sized handbook will help nursing and clinical staff reduce the spread of infections under the CDC's isolation precautions guidelines, which cover standard precautions and transmission-based precautions. An examination found inside the handbook (answer key included) can be kept on file to help document training.
