APIC Chapter 026 supports National APIC’s Vision and Mission
Vision: A safer world through prevention of infection
Mission: To advance the science and practice of infection prevention and control
The healthcare system has reached a critical juncture between patient safety, infection prevention, and quality of care. Significant changes in where care is and will where care will be delivered are central issues. These changes represent an unprecedented opportunity for infection preventionists to accelerate progress toward the elimination of healthcare-associated infections (HAI’s).
APIC leaders believe this is the right time to commit to an uncompromising vision and organize the association’s mission and goals around a plan to advance toward healthcare without infection.
We propose to advance our mission to create a safer world through the prevention of infection and embrace this bold direction through patient safety, implementation science, competencies and certification, advocacy, and data standardization.
