ACTION NEEDED: Protect HICPAC
The Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Council is currently under consideration for elimination.
- HICPAC is an appointed federal advisory body that provides guidance to CDC and DHHS on prevention surveillance and control of healthcare associated infections, antimicrobial resistance and adverse events.
- APIC, SHEA, IDSA and PIDS are jointly communicating to HHS Secretary Kennedy in support of HICPAC and how it helps make healthcare safer by providing evidence-based guidance on infection prevention and control practices
