Infection Control Program Development & New Hire Onboarding

IPCxpert delivers tailored infection prevention and control programs that align with each facility’s unique characteristics—including service lines, trauma level, geographic location, patient population, community involvement, and emerging infectious diseases.

Our approach begins with a comprehensive risk assessment to score facility-specific risk factors. These scores guide the development of a detailed surveillance plan, targeted data analysis, program evaluation, and achievable infection prevention goals.

IPCxpert ensures full alignment with requirements from The Joint Commission (TJC), DNV, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), all of which mandate an annual infection control risk assessment and updates as new risks emerge.

Our infection prevention risk assessments identify current and potential threats to patient safety and include, but are not limited to:

• System-wide Infection Control Risk Assessments
   
• Legionella Risk Assessments
   
• Infection Control Risk Assessments for Construction (ICRA)
   
• Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Assessments
   
• Sterilization of surgical instrument
   
• High-level disinfection (HLD) of Endoscopes, Bronchoscopes, TEE, and Vaginal probes.
   

IPCxpert supports the onboarding and continued development of Infection Preventionists by providing:

• Standardized training curricula
   
• Education modules
   
• Competency checklists

Our experts also offer in-depth training on National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) patient safety modules, including surveillance for:

• CLABSI – Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection
   
• CAUTI – Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection
   
• C. difficile (C. diff)
