This year’s virtual APIC 2021 discussion placed a well-deserved spotlight on the infection prevention and control (IPC) professionals on the front lines of the pandemic. However, the work completed by infection preventionists has been critical to promoting a culture of safety in healthcare long before COVID-19. 

Learn three beneficial insights from APIC to help hospital leaders support the future of infection prevention.

Practicing thorough and proper hand hygiene has always been important, but the pandemic reinforced this, particularly in healthcare settings. With healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) presenting as a huge threat to patient and employee safety, hand hygiene in healthcare environments is even more critical.

A new online survey commissioned by SC Johnson Professional, the makers of Windex®, Scrubbing Bubbles®, fantastik® and more, revealed that 71% of Americans say a vacation rental owner's transparency with their cleaning processes would have an impact on their decision to select a vacation rental property. The survey also found that nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) say their decision to select a vacation rental property would be impacted by whether the vacation rental property owner displays materials that certify the unit has been cleaned using well-known brands. The survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults was conducted in April 2021 for SC Johnson Professional by The Harris Poll.

Hand hygiene has been top of mind for people of all ages throughout the pandemic as an integral part of preventing the spread of germs. That includes students in grades K-12. This year, SC Johnson Professional crowned Stella F., a fourth-grader at Floranada Elementary School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the winner in the elementary/middle school (K-5) category, and Wilfred O., a sixth-grader at Gifford School in Racine, Wisc., the winner in the high school (6-12) category.
