[Todd Fox]

Like it or not, your hospital administrator may not be happy with the results of your work. According to a hospital admin source, infection control programs have been likened to "dog and pony shows."

Our source additionally claimed that many infection preventionists are mere cheerleaders and are lacking the ability to really lead. In the past, there has been an issues of information dissemination and agreeing on standards. However, infection control information in the present time is readily accessible to staff members.
