Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a practical approach to preventing infections that can harm patients and health workers. It is a vital part of healthcare quality and patient safety, and it affects every aspect of healthcare. The IPC team looks for patterns of infection within the facility, observes practices, educates healthcare teams, advises hospital leaders and other professionals, compiles infection data, develops policies and procedures, and coordinates with local and national public health agencies.
At Optim Medical Center – Tattnall, we believe we have one of the best Infection Preventionists around with Teal Jeffers.
Thank you, Teal, for everything that you do!
