Infection Prevention Program Development and Implementation :

  • Develop educational materials, presentations, and workshops for staff to ensure consistent understanding of infection control guidelines.
  • Conduct audits and assessments to evaluate staff compliance with infection control protocols and provide feedback or corrective action when necessary.
  • Outbreak Management and Response :

  • Lead investigations of infection outbreaks, implementing control measures to prevent further transmission and mitigate risks to patients and staff.
  • Work with healthcare teams to develop and implement outbreak control strategies, including patient isolation, staff training, and increased surveillance.
  • Coordinate with local and state health authorities during outbreaks and ensure timely reporting of suspected or confirmed infections.
  • Consultation and Collaboration :

  • Provide expert consultation to healthcare teams, leadership, and departments on infection prevention and control measures.
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including infection control committees, nursing, housekeeping, clinical staff, and administration, to promote a culture of safety and continuous improvement in infection prevention practices.
  • Ensure that infection control practices are effectively integrated into patient care processes, procedures, and discharge planning.
  • Compliance and Regulatory Oversight :

  • Ensure compliance with national, state, and local infection control regulations and guidelines, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), The Joint Commission (TJC), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
  • Prepare for and participate in regulatory inspections, audits, and accreditation surveys related to infection control.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of infection prevention standards and emerging infectious diseases to ensure compliance with best practices.
  • Data Collection and Analysis :

  • Collect, analyze, and interpret data related to infection rates, including surgical site infections (SSIs), urinary tract infections (UTIs), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and Clostridium difficile (C. diff).
  • Use data analysis tools to identify patterns, assess the effectiveness of infection prevention measures, and make recommendations for quality improvement.
  • Prepare and present infection prevention performance reports to hospital committees, leadership, and other stakeholders.
  • Quality Improvement Initiatives :

  • Lead or participate in quality improvement projects aimed at reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and enhancing patient care.
  • Collaborate with other departments (e.g., housekeeping, environmental services, clinical teams) to identify opportunities for improving infection control practices across the facility.
  • Monitor the effectiveness of infection prevention programs, ensuring continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving infection risks.
