Abstract

The Alabama Long-Term Care Strike Team was established in 2022 to help long-term care facilities (LTCFs) build and maintain infection prevention and control (IPC) systems. Infection preventionists use CDC’s Infection Control Assessment and Response (ICAR) tools to provide IPC-specific recommendations. Analysis of ICAR recommendations identified the three greatest training needs in Alabama: source control, hand hygiene, and environmental cleaning. The ICAR provides a standardized and objective way to monitor and mitigate IPC risk.
