感染控制专业的新名称
2008年7月10日 哥伦比亚特区华盛顿
APIC今天宣布,为了明确其会员的角色地位，从即日起，从事感染控制的专业人士称为“感染预防师（Infection Preventionists ）。这个新命名的专业技术职称术语，如同过去数年来医疗保健业引入的hospitalists 、 intensivists和interventionists一样，将感染预防师列入到专业技术职称名单内。
世界各地的感染预防师，对临床和其他诊所病人进行医院感染（ hais ）的预防干预工作。他们与临床医师和管理人员一道，改善了病人的愈后和诊疗机构的运行，减少了医院感染和相关不良事件的发生。
APIC总干事（CEO）凯西.维莱（Kathy Warye）女士说：“感染预防师的称谓，清晰和准确的表达了Infection Preventionists 是我们中的一员和他们都在做什么。
在挽救生命与节约卫生资源方面，壮大感染预防师队伍是很自然的发展需要。正确的名称更能准确地反映他们所发挥的作用。我们创造这个新的名词（Preventionists），是希望各界提高认识，认识到感染预防师在病人安全、改善愈后、节省资源上所做出的独特贡献。
APIC还引入了一个新的团体标志（Corporate Logo）和宣传标语。它概括表达了本组织的全球性和重点在预防的理念： “传播知识。预防感染” 。这个新的元素是APIC品牌推介组（Branding Task Force）数月来的研究和推广的结果。并旨在说明感染预防师在医疗保健工作中，作为一支独特的专业队伍，发挥着领导作用。
澳大利亚昆士兰州邦德大学，APIC董事会成员凯瑟琳.墨菲（Cathryn Murphy）副教授表示：新的名称反映了APIC对医学和医疗实践未来的战略眼光。目前的形势已清楚的表明，随着有效的抗生素的储备不断减少，传统的控制医院感染的工作模式，应向重点放在防止其发生方面进行转变。
APIC带领其会员，致力于帮助各医疗机构促进医院感染预防和达到降低医院感染发生的宏伟目标。“零感染”的倡议，激励所有组织接受预防的理念，并将医院感染持续稳定在最低。

NEW NAME FOR INFECTION CONTROL PROFESSION
Washington, DC, July 10, 2008 – To articulate the expanding roles of its members, APIC today announced that Infection Control Professionals will now be referred to as Infection Preventionists. This newly created term joins the list of professional titles such as hospitalists, intensivists and interventionists introduced by the healthcare industry over the past several years.
Infection Preventionists direct interventions that protect patients from healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in clinical and other settings around the world. They work with clinicians and administrators to improve patient and systems-level outcomes and reduce HAIs and related adverse events.
“The term Infection Preventionist clearly and effectively communicates who our members are and what they do,” said APIC CEO Kathy Warye. “Infection Preventionists develop and direct performance improvement initiatives that save lives and resources for healthcare facilities, so this was a natural transition – or a right-sizing of the name – to more accurately reflect their role. By creating a new word, we hope to raise awareness about what Infection Preventionists uniquely contribute to patient safety, improved outcomes and bottom line savings to healthcare institutions.”
APIC also introduced a new corporate logo and tagline which encapsulate the organization’s global reach and focus on prevention: "Spreading knowledge. Preventing infection." The new elements are the result of months of research and development by APIC's Branding Task Force and are designed to promote Infection Preventionists as a separate and distinct profession, whose members are poised for leadership roles in healthcare.
“The new name reflects our strategic vision for the future of the practice and the profession,” said Associate Professor Cathryn Murphy, RN, MPH, PHD, CIC, APIC board member and Faculty of Health Science and Medicine, Bond University, Queensland, Australia. “With a declining arsenal of effective antibiotics, it was increasingly clear that the traditional orientation toward the control of HAIs needed to shift to one where preventing their occurrence was the priority. APIC leads efforts in promoting HAI prevention and provides members with resources to help them set and reach ambitious goals for reduction of HAIs within their institutions. Our Targeting Zero initiative encourages all organizations to embrace the concept of prevention and bring HAIs to an irreducible minimum.”
