IC Made Easy: Your Key to Understanding Infection Prevention and Control, Second Edition, makes the complex topic of infection prevention and control easy to understand for beginners new to accreditation as well as for those who need a refresher and/or reference to basic concepts.
IC Made Easy is a basic, practical guide for infection preventionists, clinicians, accreditation professionals, and other health care professionals who need to understand how to comply with Joint Commission Infection Prevention and Control (IC) standards and related requirements, including National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs), Leadership (LD), and Environment of Care (EC) standards. This book also covers comparable Joint Commission International (JCI) infection prevention and control requirements and provides an overview of the entire accreditation process, which is useful for those new to either Joint Commission or JCI accreditation.
