Abstract:
When Ascension Wisconsin was formed, it merged 4 long-established health systems: Ministry Health Care, Affinity Health System, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, and Columbia St Mary's. One of the challenges encountered during the first year was redundancy in many policies and processes. Setting a structure, establishing goals, and evaluating progress led to success for Ascension Wisconsin's Infection Prevention Council.
