From a collaboration between the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and Joint Commission Resources comes a useful, hands-on workbook that addresses infection control issues in a variety of health care settings.

Involving the input of experienced and knowledgeable infection control professionals (ICPs), the workbook is designed to take an organization through the most challenging infection control-related issues facing ICPs and health care organizations today. The workbook format encourages organizations to develop action plans to address infection control issues found in their own self-assessment. Special features include:

  • Detailed explanations of Joint Commission requirements for infection control in a variety of health care settings
  • Answers to commonly asked questions
  • Checklists and tools that help organizations assess their compliance with Joint Commission requirements and improve their infection control practices

JCAHO's mission is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of health care accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations. The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization, established more than 50 years ago. Joint Commission is governed by a board that includes physicians, nurses, and consumers. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the US. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Since 1951, the Joint Commission has maintained state-of-the-art standards that focus on improving the quality and safety of care provided by health care organizations. The Joint Commission's comprehensive accreditation process evaluates an organization's compliance with these standards and other accreditation requirements.
