It's Infection Prevention Week: Here are Our Most Popular Infection Prevention Posts

This week marks APIC’s annual International Infection Prevention Week.

APIC reminds us that:

Each of us—patients, families, and healthcare personnel—has an important role to play in keeping patients safe from infection. First and foremost, know the basics of infection prevention. Do your part—and hand hygiene is key! Whether you’re in a healthcare facility or in the community, there are things healthcare professionals, patients, and family members can do to stay safe from infections.

Here on the Hepacart blog, we believe strongly in the importance of infection control and prevention. In fact, it’s a core value of our company and a reason that we first got into the business of dust containment.


To support this important week, we’ve put together a round-up of the most popular infection prevention-related posts on our blog. Take a look.
