Abstract:
The ICPs of 10 Southern California medical centers were able to coordinate efforts to standardize the use of glutaraldehyde for high-level disinfection. In implementing "APIC Guidelines for Selection and Use of Disinfectants," variations in practice similar to those recognized nationally were identified. Through coordinated efforts, the regional ICP group researched and developed a position paper to facilitate standardization of high-level disinfection practice.
