Infection Preventionist (IP)/ICAR

The Arkansas Department of Health would like to introduce a free, confidential, and non-regulatory resource for your team. The ADH HAI program has three certified infection control (CIC) infection prevention nurses (IPs), housed across the state who would like to come and discuss infection prevention strategies and assist with addressing any identified gaps to help guide quality improvement activities within your facility. The IPs will work with you and your team to review and meet Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) best practices.

If you or your team would like to participate in an assessment, click the link here to request an ICAR visit and, ideally, you will receive communication regarding your request within two business days.
