ICAR Background

Healthcare Infection Control and Response is a new program being offered by SPICE.

Funding for the project is made possible by Centers for Disease Control and North Carolina Division of Public Health, Communicable Disease Branch. The project focuses on assessment of infection control and response practices in nursing homes, hospitals, and outpatient and dialysis facilities. Participating facilities receive constructive feedback to improve infection control and response practices in their facilities. Finally, aggregate data will identify gaps to be addressed through educational programming to improve infection control and response.
