"Infection prevention--"it's in your hands" is the theme of International Infection Prevention Week, October 16-22. It is an opportunity to educate healthcare workers, administrators, legislators, and consumers about the importance of reducing infection risks, says the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).

APIC has sponsored the International Infection Prevention Week since 1986, and its Web site has event ideas both in healthcare facilities and in the community, infection control success stories, and articles and games to help educate staff and focus attention on infection control and prevention issues.
