The Latest for Infection Control Professionals
I am attending the annual Association for Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) in Ft. Lauderdale this week. There will be significant information on the latest topics in infection prevention from leading experts on pandemics, of course, including H1N1. Plus sessions on the latest in compliance, infection prevention in various settings (hospital, ambulatory surgical sites, LTC, and outpatient clinics), and device-related infections - and a thousand other topics.
Visit the APIC Web site for more information.
When I return I'll give you highlights of the conference and what I learned from some of the more interesting sessions.
In the meantime, if you have an area of infection control you'd like me to address, or if you have questions about infection control practices, post a comment here and I'll be sure to address it. Also, remember to check out the Infection Control Resource Center on the main ADVANCE for Nurses Web site.
