Frequently Asked Questions About ICCS Services
Does ICCS offer ongoing support, or only one-time engagements?
Both. ICCS provides one-time engagements such as survey preparation and program development, as well as ongoing and fractional infection control support for facilities that need continued oversight without a full-time hire.
Does ICCS work on-site, remotely, or both?
ICCS provides both on-site and remote support. On-site visits are typically used for initial assessments, sterile processing observation, and survey preparation, while ongoing consultation, surveillance reporting, and policy review are commonly handled remotely.
How do I know which ICCS services my facility needs?
Every engagement begins with a complimentary initial consultation, during which ICCS reviews your facility's current program and identifies which services — program development, survey preparation, sterile processing guidance, or ongoing support — best fit your needs.
