IPCO Version 2 is designed to train nursing facility Infection Preventionists and is approved for 25 ANCC contact hours. The online course is also approved for 22 NAB CEUs for Administrators. AHCA/NCAL recognizes Administrators will not serve as designated Infection Preventionists but recommends that Administrators consider taking the course to gain a deeper understanding of infection prevention and control in facility operations and how to create a facility-wide infection prevention culture. The training is also highly recommended for assisted living communities because they care for a similar population with similar infection risks.
The registration fee is $450 for AHCA/NCAL members and $650 for non-members. Members will need to login with their AHCA/NCAL usernames and passwords to
register for IPCO Version 2. For help obtaining AHCA/NCAL usernames and passwords, members should e-mail
educate@ahca.org with their name and facility contact information.
