Infection Prevention and Control

Protecting patients
at every point of care.

Infection prevention is both a regulatory requirement and a patient safety imperative. Oncore partners with healthcare facilities to build, strengthen, and sustain IP&C programs that satisfy surveyors and protect the people in their care.

Services Include

Program development,
oversight, and compliance.

01
IP&C Program Development
Ground-up Infection Prevention and Control programs covering surveillance, outbreak response, hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, and regulatory compliance, structured for the specific care settings and patient populations in your facility.
02
JC, CMS, CDC & WHO Compliance
Gap analysis and remediation across all major IP&C regulatory frameworks. Oncore maps program elements to JC infection prevention standards, CMS Conditions of Participation, and CDC and WHO guidance to identify and close compliance gaps before a survey.
03
Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRAs)
Formal ICRAs for construction, renovation, maintenance activities, and new service lines. Developed by credentialed infection prevention professionals with direct knowledge of what surveyors expect to see.
04
Construction & Renovation Oversight
On-site infection control oversight during active construction and renovation, including ICRA permit management, barrier monitoring, and particulate sampling to protect patients throughout the project.
05
APIC & SHEA Guideline Alignment
Program review and alignment with current APIC and SHEA practice guidance so your IP&C policies reflect evidence-based best practice, not outdated assumptions.
06
Education & Training
Staff education and training programs built around the facility's patient population, care settings, and regulatory requirements. Oncore delivers training that translates policy into practice at the bedside and in the OR.
Every Point of Care

The infection you prevent is the one no one ever sees.

Standards
Regulatory Landscape

One program.
Every standard.

Healthcare infection prevention is governed by overlapping requirements from accreditors, federal regulators, and professional organizations. Oncore builds programs that satisfy all of them, so facilities aren't maintaining separate compliance tracks for each body.

Joint Commission
IC chapter standards and NPSG requirements for infection prevention program structure and surveillance.
CMS Conditions of Participation
Federal infection control CoPs applicable to hospitals, ASCs, and other Medicare/Medicaid-certified providers.
CDC Guidelines
Isolation precautions, hand hygiene, environmental infection control, and HAI prevention bundles.
APIC & SHEA
Evidence-based practice guidance from the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and SHEA.
WHO Guidelines
Global infection prevention and control guidance, including hand hygiene and safe injection practices.
ASHE ICRA 2.0
Construction and renovation risk assessment framework for projects in and adjacent to patient care areas.
Who We Serve

Wherever patients
receive care.

IP&C obligations don’t scale down just because a facility is smaller. Oncore works with large academic medical centers, ambulatory surgery centers, long-term acute care facilities, and specialty clinics, each with its own risk profile and regulatory expectations.

Acute care hospitals and health systems
Ambulatory surgery centers
Long-term acute care and rehabilitation facilities
Oncology and immunocompromised patient settings
Facilities undergoing active construction or renovation
Organizations preparing for JC or DNV survey
CIC
Credentialed Infection Preventionists
Oncore's IP&C work is led by professionals holding CIC certification, the nationally recognized credential for infection prevention and control practice.
25+
Years in Healthcare Environments
Decades of on-site experience in hospitals, surgery centers, and specialty facilities across the country.
IP&C
Program-to-Survey Continuity
Oncore builds programs, trains staff, and stays engaged through survey preparation, so the program that gets evaluated is the one we built together.
Why Oncore

Specialists, not
generalists.

01
CIC-Credentialed Staff on Every Engagement
Oncore's infection prevention professionals hold CIC certification. We don't send generalists to do specialist work. Every IP&C engagement is led by someone who lives and works in this discipline full-time.
02
Designed Around Survey Expectations
We've been on both sides of the survey process. The programs we build are structured to satisfy JC and DNV surveyors, with documentation that holds up under scrutiny and policies that reflect how care is actually delivered.
03
Tied into Construction and Accreditation
IP&C doesn't exist in isolation. Oncore's infection prevention practice works alongside our construction oversight and accreditation teams so facilities get consistent infection control coverage across every program area.
04
On-Call During Outbreaks
When an HAI cluster or environmental exposure triggers an urgent response, Oncore deploys staff on short notice. We've managed active outbreak investigations, emergency surveillance, and regulatory communications for facilities in crisis.
