| Comments: | Hello CHICA members. Has anyone recently taken the CBIC exam ? I have done so recently ( Nov 9 /06). I was suprised to see the content of the questions so heavily geared to admin, education, risk management. The study guide indicated something much different in my opinion. Has anyone else had this experience ? |

| Comments: | Is there anyone who has recently written the CBIC exam ? I have just done so ( Nov 09 ). I am wondering if anyone else expereinced what I did in terms of the exam questions. I found it to be very heavily weighted in admin, risk management, education. The guide indicated a different focus. Any other comments from those who have recently written ? |

| Comments: | I have a question regarding Hand washing
Should one dispense or tear off the paper towel (especially in public washrooms)before startng their hand washing steps? Iam wondering if the handle on the dispensors would be considered dirty considering that one would be touching this handle with wet fingers? Look forward to hearing your recommendation to my dilemma |

| Comments: | Message to Louise Champagne: Hello Louise,you were inquiring about the CHICA Canada website. Unfortunately, most of the CHICA-Canada website is in English. Our annual report is in both English and French, and we do offer some French resource links at: http://www.chica.org/links_french_resources.html.
The Board has been considering translation of the site into French, and is exploring options for doing that. Perhaps one day we will have a bilingual site, and I will let them know about your request. Thank you, Shirley Shirley McDonald CHICA-Canada Web Communications Manager |

| Comments: | The Preventing infection is in your hands pamphlet is pretty offensive. Portraying a little Chinese child as a mini-sumo wrestler is quite ignorant. I"m not Chinese and even I know that. According to the form Abbot Laboratories produced it, but your organization endorsed it. The message is great, but imagery is bad. I'm quite surprised your organization would sign off on marketing materials such as this. |

I speak on behalf of many, many people touched by mosquito-borne encephalitis, when I say that if society could have more understanding of the impact of West Nile Encephalitis and other mosquito-borne encephalitis, we may result in more residents taking extra care in making their own backyard mosquito-safe.

| Comments: | I work for a supplier that wants to introduce to the CHICA a new & exciting product; the Personal Isolation Module. There is a protype of this product on display at the Infection Control show in London Ontario this May/06. Is there a possibility that I could attend the Education Day scheduled for June 8 & 9/06 in Calgary, to introduce the product? With the hype about super bugs, flupandemics, and out breaks of TB this is a must see product. Thank you for your time.

| Comments: | I notice that CHICA special interest groups do not include: same day admit, operating rooms and post anaesthesia and wonder if CHICA feels these areas are under-represented?
In June I will have completed the ICP course. Though the operating room is my nursing specialty, I am trying to imagine blending the two specialties together to facilitate compliance and 'seamless' infection control. There is much procedural unhappiness in my workplace around the issue of contact precautions. I don't imagine we are an exception. Researching other countries reveals associated specialty ICP practitioners (ie. OR, emergency or critical care)and I would be interested if CHICA is aware of such a professional relationship in any health authority in Canada. Jane Barry RN CNOR Victoria, B.C. |

I have been a member for many years and I realy appreciate the informations found on your site. I am implicated in the renovation of different units in my acute care center, and I would have appreciated to see the handouts of a presentation about the recent construction of a hospital in Alberta. This presentation took place in an annual conference, I think it was in 2004. I suggest you to give us access to the handouts of the conferences for a longer time. Thank you. Lucie B. |

| Comments: | I am trying to contact key people interested in the Infection Control area as we have a new product to address stethoscope cross contamination. It is called Stetpro, www.stetpro.com. A doctor devloped it to address the problem because of the fact that most policies related to using alcohol wipes are not followed.
The product is available in the UK as well as other countries. I look forward to hearing from interested parties. Regards; Reginald |

| Comments: | I was viewing your website regarding a course I'm taking at Vancouver Community College regarding Records Management and Change to Office Automation. I read about Implementing your Records Management Program, to include software. The benefits being:
儃 Ensuring necessary records are retained. 儃 Fulfill legal and financial requirements. 儃 Provide for continued operation of organization. 儃 To preserve records of historical importance. I found this the other evening and was looking for it again, but couldn't find a search engine for your sight. It would be very useful if you had one. Thank you.
