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 be delivered are central issues. These changes represent an unprecedented opportunity for infection preventionists to accelerate progress toward the elimination of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
APIC leaders believe now is the ideal time to embrace a bold vision and align the association’s mission and goals with a strategic plan to achieve infection-free healthcare.
We propose to advance our mission to create a safer world through the prevention of infection and embrace this bold direction through advocacy, competencies and certification, data standardization, implementation science, mentorship, and patient safety.
