| Infection Control Guidelines |
|
The development of scientifically based guidelines is paramount for
the practice of infection control. The APIC Guidelines Committee is
responsible for commissioning, coordinating, producing, and revising
APIC Guidelines for Infection Control Practice. The full-text of most
APIC guidelines is available for review and/or downloading.

Infection control guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Healthcare Infection Control
Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) are reprinted in the American
Journal of Infection Control to keep APIC members informed about the
latest principles and practices of infection control.
The CDC web site has a comprehensive list resources in its Issues in Healthcare
Safety section.
