Description
About APIC The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC) is a multi-disciplinary voluntary international organization with over 10,000 members. Its purpose is to influence, support and improve the quality of healthcare through the practice and management of infection control and the application of epidemiology in all health settings. The organization, which is based in Washington, DC, is led by an elected board of members who volunteer their time and expertise.The Association for Practitioners in Infection Control (APIC) was conceived in 1972 out of recognition of the need for an organized, systematic approach to the "control" of infections acquired as a result of hospitalization.1 The name was changed to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC), in 1994 to recognize the organization's maturation and evolution into the broader context of healthcare delivery in this country, which includes the study of non-infectious adverse outcomes and the movement of care outside the traditional healthcare system, specifically the hospital.This presentation was made by APIC’s Executive Director, Kathy Warye, at the 2005 APIC Annual Business Meeting, June 22, in Baltimore, MD. The presentation highlights key initiatives that occurred in the prior year (June 2004 to June 2005) and provides information of the overall condition of the Association.
