Nebraska Infection Control Assessment and Promotion Program (ICAP)
Nebraska ICAP is CDC-funded partnership between Nebraska Medicine, the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the Nebraska DHHS HAI/AR Program. Since 2015, the team has performed assessments in over 150 Nebraska healthcare facilities, all across the healthcare continuum. In each facility, our experienced infection prevention team shares the latest evidence-based infection control practices and strategies. Promotion of safe injection practice resources is a core activity and great passion of the team, and includes direct dialogue among infection preventionists about relevant risks in healthcare facilities.

The Nebraska Infection Control Network (NICN)
The NICN was founded in 1980 by Philip W. Smith, MD. Its mission was to improve the quality of healthcare in Nebraska hospitals, long term care facilities and communities through the prevention and control of infectious diseases. The NICN uniquely combines the volunteer efforts of key agencies and emphasizes educational programs. In the more than 30 years these courses have been provided, over 4000 trainees have attended.
The intensive two-day Primary Infection Prevention course is held twice a year in Omaha and has included an injection safety lecture since 2017.
