The SGNA Infection Prevention Task Force created the framework for the Infection Prevention Champions Program and toolkit. The goal of the Infection Prevention Champions Program is for each facility/setting across the country to have a team member enroll as a Champion who acts as the link to the most current infection prevention news, helping ensure the most current and safe practices are followed.
The Infection Prevention Toolkit contains resources for Champions and others who seek to advance their infection prevention knowledge. Champions have access to additional resources and discussion forums.
Publicly accessible resources include:
