All skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in Connecticut were surveyed and more than 71% responded to a Centers for Disease Control-funded project, a component of which is reported herein. The study describes the infection control practitioner (ICP), assistance provided ICPs from external sources, and infection control committees. Almost all ICPs received some training in infection control and worked in the field for an average of 3 1/2 years. Both the number of hours devoted to infection control and the percentage of time spent by the ICP on infection control activities increased with the size of the facility. More than one half of the ICPs in SNFs have relationships with hospital ICPs. The majority of SNF infection control committees met quarterly. The chairperson most often was a physician, although ICPs held this office in almost one third of the reporting SNFs. We conclude that ICPs in Connecticut SNFs have increased in number and that they devote more time and effort to infection control than in previous years.
