Addressing One of the Industry’s Top Challenges
Infection control remains the number one tag cited for skilled nursing facilities. To help you avoid potential penalties, or even a Directed Plan of Correction, PharMerica’s Infection Prevention and Control Program Audit offers targeted reviews on site by our Nurse Consultants.
