Services

The foundation of our services are built upon four primary principles: 

• Evaluate - Current state of infection control practices in a facility
• Establish - Evidence based criterion and procedures to protect the patient/facility
• Empower - Personnel through education, procedural precedent and management
• Execute - Any changes necessary to immediately reduce risk and exposure to risk

We can support your Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) in a number of ways, including onsite assessment, plans of correction, program development, policy and procedure development, and risk assessments. 

Not a healthcare organization? ICCNM works with community businesses and partners with infection prevention and control activities.

ICCNM can help your facility or organization be survey ready through assessment and review of the infection prevention and control program. 

 We can support surveillance for healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections (HAI) and antimicrobial surveillance.  Activities include data collection, analysis and reporting or a combination tailored to your needs.  We can provide on-site or remote support for surveillance activities, including the National Health Safety Network (NHSN)/CMS reporting and validation.  

We offer support for CMS or State survey infection prevention and control program deficiencies requiring a plan of correction. ICCNM can assist facilities with plans of correction including root cause analysis, surveillance, education and training, and on-site IPC consultation.

We can provide interim or short-term coverage to ensure continuity of your program and ongoing monitoring and reporting of essential activities.    

Move your program forward; we can help support program activities through data collection and analysis, and outbreak management. Our healthcare epidemiologists can also chair and/or support your infection control committee and antibiotic stewardship activities.

We provide local and national education and training opportunities in a variety of formats, including both in-person and virtual. courses.  Examples include IP education, bloodborne pathogen training and employee orientation. We also have formal programs that can be modified to your specific audience and needs. 

We also offer mentorship programs for the novice Infection Preventionist (IP), assisting new IPs to be successful managers of the IPC Program.

Community settings such as schools or care centers, businesses, and clinics providing services to clients often have infection prevention and control requirements to ensure a safe and sanitary environment. Protect your clients and business reputation with good infection prevention and control practices.  IPC Assessments can identify potential areas of risk allowing mitigation before harm occurs or help resolve issues already identified.
