## #FF The APIC Conference Is ALMOST Here!
As mentioned a few weeks ago in my “ [#FF
The IPAC-Canada Conference Is Here!](http://talkcleantome.blogspot.ca/2016/05/ff-ipac-canada-conference-is-here.html) ” blog, I’m lucky because I get to
attend a lot of conferences throughout the year. I’ve spent quite a bit of time checking out
the APIC education line up and “ ***WOW*** ”, I am super stoked to be
heading to Charlotte, NC in just 8 more sleeps!
So what am I going to ‘get my geek on’ over? The following are the research abstracts I am
definitely going to be checking out:
1. Hand Hygiene Intervention Design
Recommendations Derived from a Cross Sectional Factorial Survey Given to 460
Acute Care Nurses
2. Irritant Contact Dermatitis: A
Survey of Healthcare Worker Knowledge, Perceptions and Actions
3. Outbreak Investigation of
Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in a Long-term Acute Care Facility
4. Movement of Pathogens from Public
Restroom to Clinical Areas in a Hospital
5. Centralization of Sterilization
and High Level Disinfection from Multiple Outpatient Settings to a Centralized
Sterile Processing Department Provides Consistent Process
6. Does Regionalization of an
Infection Prevention Program Lead to Program Optimization and Standardization?
7. Tabletop Sterilizers: Assessing
and Monitoring Professional Standard and Regulatory Requirement Compliance
8. Impact of an Improved Hydrogen
Peroxide (IHP) Disinfectant versus a Quaternary Ammonium-based (Quat)
Disinfectant on Surface Contamination and Healthcare Outcomes
Aside from checking these research abstracts out, you’ll
find me soaking up everything I can during the day at the APIC conference. There are several sessions where I will be
flipping a coin to determine which ones I attend because I’ve not yet been able
to figure out how to clone myself!
Saturday morning at 6:00am you’ll find me all bright-eyed enjoying
breakfast while listening intently to Dr. John Boyce’s talk *Optimal Patient Room Cleaning and
Disinfection: Product and Compliance.*
The session is reviewing a recent study that resulted in a 23% reduction
of HAIs through improved cleaning and disinfection compliance!
You can be sure I will also not miss Stephen Dubners opening
plenary talk *Business and Management Lessons
from Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics*, Dr. Rutala’s talk on *Disinfection and Sterilization: The Good,
the Bad, and the Ugly*, Dev Anderson’s talk on *New Insights into Environmental Disinfection* and the closing
plenary by Josh Linkner *Executing Imagination:
Turning Raw Ideas into Powerful Results*.
When I’m not at sessions, I’ll be supporting our [Disinfection Dysfunction
education campaign](https://info.virox.com/disinfection_dysfunction) – I hope you’ll drop by to “Talk Clean to Me” and learn
if your disinfectant has a dysfunction!
*Bugging Off!*
