Working in a medical facility places employees at a higher risk for developing and/or spreading infections; even for employees who do not have direct patient contact.

Keeping employees healthy and preventing the spread of infections from employees to patients and from patients to employees are important goals of AMH Infection Prevention & Control or the IPC team.

All new employees are required to attend the Infection Prevention & Control orientation as a part of the New Employee Orientation program.

This Infection Prevention & Control Orientation Self-Study Guide will give you an overview of American Mission Hospital Infection Prevention & Control program and how you can prevent the spread of infection.
