IP Informatics Section

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Informatics is one of six future-oriented competency domains with the APIC Competency Model for infection prevention. The IPC Informatics Section aims to:

• Provide forum for members to exchange their views on IPC informatics that transcends healthcare settings, technology vendors, and technology configurations
• Provide infection preventionists with a place to expand their understanding of surveillance technologies used within the infection prevention arena
• Bring attention to common surveillance technology issues
• Discuss data validation techniques
• Define expanded accountability and validation standards for vendors
• Track progress of agency proposals to use reporting data directly from electronic medical records
• Discuss ways to mitigate potential impacts of changes in data reporting formats
• Identify tools infection preventionists can use to strengthen their technology skills in alignment with the APIC Competency Model
• Anticipate future technologies
