With an ever mobile patient population and visitors in our licensed facilities, the role of infection prevention is ever so important.  Infection control prevents or stops the spread of infections in healthcare settings.  ASHNHA members are working hard every day to ensure facilities that are free from contamination. 

 

By engaging in training, collaboration, data tracking and reporting our members are making great strides in the reduction of infection and related conditions.
