The Certification Board of Infection Control (CBIC) updated its infection control practice analysis to ensure its certification exam remains relevant. Experts confirmed most original findings, identifying new tasks and refining the exam content outline.

Area of Science:

  • Infection Control and Epidemiology
  • Professional Certification Standards

Background:

  • A foundational task analysis by the Certification Board of Infection Control (CBIC) previously informed its certification examination.
  • Maintaining the relevance and job-relatedness of professional certification requires periodic revalidation of its underlying task analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update and revalidate the original CBIC task analysis for infection control practice.
  • To ensure the continued validity and job-relatedness of the infection control certification examination.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi technique was employed, involving multiple panels of expert infection control practitioners (ICPs).
  • A total of 29 ICPs participated in an iterative process to define practice dimensions and link them to the certification examination.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Expert consensus was sought to refine the understanding of current infection control practices.

    • Main Results:

    • High congruence was observed between the original task analysis and the expert panel findings.
    • Minor differences in practice were identified among ICPs in extended care facilities.
    • Several new infection control tasks were identified, necessitating updates.

    Conclusions:

    • The updated task analysis confirms the continued validity of the CBIC certification process.
    • A revised content outline for the examination was developed based on clustered knowledge statements around common themes.
    • The revalidation process ensures the certification examination accurately reflects current infection control practice.
