The Infection Prevention Program strives to further develop partnerships to provide an enhanced understanding of the infection prevention capacity in health care facilities in Clark County. The program achieves this by:

• Assessing health care partner capacity to respond to communicable disease emergencies and emerging pathogens.
• Conducting site Infection Control Assessment and Response (ICAR) assessments to inform infection prevention capacity building needs.
• Developing educational materials and toolkits that can be adapted for use.
• Investigate facility outbreaks and recommend control measures to mitigate further spread.
• Educating health care partners through outreach on emerging highly resistant pathogens most commonly transmitted in medical settings, prevention, and outbreak preparedness.
• Partnering with community health care delivery partners.
