The complexity and risks of long-term care (LTC) resident care has continued to increase, including infection risk, as regulatory agencies and the LTC industry seek credible and knowledgeable infection preventionists for their facilities. Developing

Significant amounts of Category A infectious substance waste (Cat-A) may be generated during the treatment of patients with a high consequence infection disease (HCID); although not all HCID patient waste is classified as Cat-A as it is pathogen
