Infection Control St. Francis Hospital, Blue Island, IL 60406.

ICPs played an invaluable role, and their activities resulted in minimal nosocomial incidence. The survey reported two cases of nosocomial infection in patients, one in the medical service and one in the pediatric unit, as well as the reported employee cases. Two nosocomial employee cases were reported, a laboratory technologist and medical student. Implementation of these recommendations will make the job of the ICP easier during any outbreak. We believe that our interventions, interactions, and assistance positively affected the course of the epidemic. In the final analysis the activities of surveillance, supervision of isolation, education and consultation, employee health, and public relations served to strengthen the positive image of ICPs.
