.0206 NC Infection Control Curriculum Overview & Course Registration for Outpatient, Dental and Home Health/Hospice 2019

Memo from State Epidemiologist Zack Moore, MD, MPH

In North Carolina, every healthcare organization that performs invasive procedures (including injections) is required to designate an on-site staff person to receive infection control training and implement an infection control program.  The approved infection control curriculum developed by SPICE prepares designated healthcare providers to implement the North Carolina rule,  10A NCAC 41A .0206 INFECTION PREVENTION – HEALTH CARE SETTINGS.  Learners will be able to ensure and systematically assess that their facility has the appropriate infection prevention policies and procedures in place to allow healthcare personnel to provide safe patient care consistent with the NC communicable disease rule .0206.

  • Epidemiologic principles of infectious disease;
