93. Devin Jopp, CEO of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), on Leadership, Innovation, and Transforming Healthcare
What was it like to be an infection preventionist at a hospital during the pandemic? How do you support your members during a world-changing event like a global pandemic?
In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Devin Jopp, CEO at the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).
Devin discusses:
- The founding of APIC and how their members’ job is to prevent the spread of infection in all health care centers.
- The training and certifications that infection preventionists (IPs) get.
- Devin’s journey, moving from IT to CIO, and then to CEO of several health care associations.
- When Devin was at ACHA, he gathered emeritus members who helped write the guidelines for college reopening during the pandemic.
- How Devin’s doctorate taught him that when things don’t work in an organization, it’s often not because of technology, but the structures, policies, and processes.
- How as CEO of APIC, he has seen the overhaul of all the technology systems at APIC.
- How APIC is launching new products called Policy Pro and APIC Text Online. Both products help members do their jobs better.
- How APIC is exploring how generative AI will make their products better in the future, especially since APIC literally has thousands of resources on its website.
- How APIC has APIC Consulting, which is a network of IPs who go into healthcare settings to help organizations develop their plans, write the procedures, train people, or bring in consultants who work as IPs.
- How it was hell being an IP during the pandemic, and even today we don’t talk enough about the health and safety of healthcare staff.
- APIC is launching a new ethics framework and a new advanced certification program.
