Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (ICPAC)

The Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (ICPAC) is a professional group that provides guidance on how to prevent the spread of infections within healthcare settings. Their role includes developing standards, recommendations, and policies to ensure healthcare workers implement effective infection prevention measures. This helps protect patients, staff, and the community from infectious diseases, particularly in hospitals and clinics. By regularly reviewing new information and research, ICPAC ensures that infection control practices stay current and effective, ultimately promoting safer healthcare environments.
