Date:11/8/2007

ractices regarding Infection Prevention and Control. It's your right; it's everyone's responsibility.

3) Don't Pass it On

Preventing transmission truly takes a village. Proper hand hygiene is not only for hospital staff and patients -- anyone entering a hospital can unintentionally bring in, or take a bug home. Remember to wash your hands before and after visiting loved ones.

APIC's mission is to improve health and patient safety by reducing risks of infection and other adverse outcomes. The Association's more than 11,000 members have primary responsibility for infection prevention and hospital epidemiology around the globe. APIC advances its mission through education, research, collaboration, practice guidance, public policy, and credentialing. Visit APIC online at http://www.apic.org
