IPC Spotlight of the Month

“I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to move the needle on important quality improvement metrics in my role as an Infection Preventionist. I find this role satisfying as my impact ranges from direct patient care on clinical units with medical device rounding all the way to validating that the environment of care is clean and suitable for our patients. I’m extremely grateful for the collaboration I have found in working with various departments from EVS, the ED, and beyond.” – Nick Koncar, IP
