It’s your duty to draft the infection control program for your facility, and put it into action. We can show you how.
The landscape of infection control has changed dramatically in the past two years. The rapid spread of virulent diseases like methiallin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, (MRS), pandemic flu, and C. difficile, means surveyors are now paying closer attention to infection control than ever. The Joint Commission has made the prevention of healthcare-acquired infections one of its National Patient Safety Goals in 2007.
Meanwhile, your role as an infection control professional has expanded. You’re no longer simply an infection control professional (ICP), you’re a trainer, student, and compliance officer. So, when faced with the challenge of revising or creating your facility’s infection control program, you need reliable answers, now.
HCPro is pleased to introduce the Infection Control Program Guide.

Written by 40-year veteran industry insider, Carol Shenold, RN, CIC, the Infection Control Program Guide will guide you through the challenges you face.
This easy-to-understand, real-world guide provides:

Compliance is crucial
