Interim Infection Prevention Staffing:
The Solution When You Need It Most
Whether it’s covering an unexpected leave, handling periods of under staffing, or filling in while you search for a permanent hire, interim infection preventionists (IPs) help bridge the gap, ensuring that infection prevention standards remain top-notch. Gaps in infection prevention staffing can create risks for your facility, like increased chances of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), regulatory non-compliance, or even fines. When there’s no one to oversee critical infection control measures, it can put both patient and employee safety on the line.

We know every facility is unique, so we work closely with you to match the right IP professional to your needs. Our experienced consultants are ready to step in, offering a seamless transition that keeps things running smoothly. Whether it’s for a few weeks or a few months, our goal is to make sure you have peace of mind knowing your infection control program is in expert hands.
All interim IPs hold the Certified in Infection Control (CIC®) and/or Long-Term Care Certification in Infection Prevention (LTC-CIP®) credential(s) administered by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC®).
