Infection control coordinator

An infection control coordinator (ICC) helps to ensure that infection control policies and protocols are in place to protect both staff and patients from mistakes that endanger their well-being. The need for such a position has been demonstrated through the requirements of both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and, unfortunately, through breaches of protocols that have occurred when protocols are not followed. Often the breaches result when no individual or group is in place to enforce regulations and ensure protocols are not being ignored.
