IP&MA recognizes that the success of any facility is dependent on its ability to remain on the forefront of regulation, research, and technology. To that end, IP&MA focuses considerable effort to stay informed of progress in the science of infection prevention, and contribute to that library of knowledge through publication. This is done to insure that our clients are being given solutions that are informed by the very latest in evidence based standards and practices.
