Background:

Infection preventionists (IPs) are essential for preventing healthcare-associated infections and ensuring quality patient care.
Understanding IPs' practice is vital for developing effective support strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess key aspects of infection prevention practice.
To inform strategies supporting comprehensive infection prevention.

Main Methods:

A survey was developed by expert IPs, APIC staff, and survey designers.
The survey addressed demographics, compensation, organizational structure, and practice/competency.
4,078 APIC members participated in the mid- to late-2015 survey (31% response rate).

Main Results:

All practice domains of the APIC Competency Model were rated as important or very important by supervisors.
Surveillance and investigation occupied the most time for IPs.
Prevention/control of transmission, infection identification, and management/communication followed in time allocation.

Conclusions:

Survey results will guide the development of future infection prevention programs and initiatives.
Further analysis will explore the APIC Competency Model's validity, professional development needs, and IP compensation.
