Supporting Member Sponsor(s): Amanda Cosenzal [email], Aquatools Infection Control Solutions
Educational Presenter: Guided Discussion led by Lisa Marie Kilgore, MBA-HCM, BSBM, CIC
Presentation: Healthcare Infection Prevention Advisory Group (HIPAG)
Learning Objectives:
- Understand why HICPAC was disbanded
- Executive order from the White House to reduce federal workforce
- The disbandment has left healthcare without timely, evidence-based, and expert-driven recommendations which could potentially put patients and HCWs at greater risk, especially during a pandemic or an outbreak.
- Understand the inception and why HIPAG was created
- HICPAC was created in 1991 and played a vital role in the development of Infection Prevention and Control guidance.
- HIPAG was created to fill gaps in variations and inconsistencies in organizations policies and procedures due to the disbandment of HICPAC
- HIPAG will offer timely, evidence-informed advisory expertise that supports IP’s and healthcare facility needs
