Emergency Preparedness - Infection Control

Diagnostics, surveillance, and disease trend analysis are increasingly critical parts of a comprehensive infection prevention program. For this reason, infection preventionists and laboratory professionals need to understand the roles each must play and work together to improve patient outcomes. To facilitate this, APIC partnered with the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) to create the IP Col-Lab-oration project, part of the Building Bridges program.

Concise, portable, and user-friendly, The Washington Manual™ Infectious Diseases Subspecialty Consult, Third Edition, provides essential information needed to evaluate patients on a subspecialty consult service. This edition offers state-of-the-art content on the diagnosis, investigation, and treatment of a wide variety of infectious diseases, including coverage of new and emerging pathogens, rapid molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases, and new therapeutic and preventive strategies. Ideal for trainees and practicing physicians who need quick access to current scientific and clinical information in this rapidly changing area, the manual is also useful as a first-line resource for internists and other primary care providers.
