Each month, the APIC Communications Committee updates the “Infection info for consumers” page of APIC.org with consumer-focused infection prevention information. This page provides consumers with useful tips and information on their role in stopping the transmission of infection.

In honor of the New Year, this month's author, Irena L. Kenneley, PhD, APRN-BC, CIC, has created a "Top 10 list" of infection prevention resolutions. Beyond the obvious—steering clear of runny noses and hacking coughs—Kenneley presents some other practical ways of staying infection-free. 

Feel free to share and use this consumer-friendly, infection prevention material in your education efforts and sign up to receive these monthly updates via email.
