Book Reviews
Infection Prevention Competency Review Guide (2010)
APIC’s Infection Prevention Competency Review Guide is designed to help the Infection Control Professional prepare to take the CIC certification exam. Formerly known as the Certification Review Guide, the 4th edition has been updated to reflect the 2010 changes to the exam. The Review Guide consists of seven chapters that correspond to the areas of testing as defined by the Certification Board of Infection Control (CBIC) as well as a general chapter about taking the certification exam: I) Identification of Infectious Disease Processes, II) Surveillance and Epidemiological Investigation, III) Preventing / Controlling the Transmission of Infectious Agents, IV) Management and Communication (Leadership), VI) Education and Research, VII) The Certification Exam. Suggestions for using the Review Guide include individual study as well as group study. 
Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities (2010 Edition)
The Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities (2010 edition) is produced by the Facility Guidelines Institute and supersedes the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities (2006). The FGI guidelines provide both health care providers and design professionals with guidance on minimum requirements, good practice, and emerging trends in health care facility design and construction. In response to public input and changes to the health care industry, significant updates to guideline content have been made and new sections have been added. |
