ABSTRACT
Successful Infection Prevention Programs (IPPs) consist of a multidisciplinary team led by a hospital epidemiologist and managed by infection preventionists. Knowledge of the economics of health care-associated infections (HAIs) and the ability to make a business plan is now essential to the success of programs. Prevention of HAIs is the core function of IPPs with impact on patient outcomes, quality of care, and cost savings for hospitals. This article discusses the structure and responsibilities of an IPP, the regulatory pressures and opportunities that these programs face, and how to build and manage a successful program.
