Infection Control and Prevention Help in Your Backyard

Infection Control Consulting Services (ICCS) may be a national provider of infection control and prevention services, but as a Florida-based organization, we especially enjoy the opportunity to help our neighbors provide safer, compliant care. Plus, our Florida clients like knowing that our consultants are a drive or very short flight away, which allows us to make on-site visits faster while keeping travel costs low.

So if you work in an ambulatory surgery center, nursing home, physician practice, dental office, or any other type of healthcare organization and want to find out how ICCS can help you deliver high-quality care that meets the complex regulatory and accreditation requirements, fill out the form below. An ICCS representative will follow up with you to discuss how we can meet your needs. If your matter is time-sensitive, call us at (215) 692-3485.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Florida-Specific Regulatory Considerations

In Florida, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating healthcare facilities, including ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. State licensure is required regardless of whether a facility also pursues accreditation. Facilities accredited by organizations such as AAAHC or The Joint Commission may qualify for "deemed status," meaning they are not scheduled for routine on-site AHCA licensure surveys. ICCS helps Florida facilities prepare for both AHCA surveys and accreditation body surveys, so compliance holds up no matter which oversight path applies.

Florida Infection Control FAQs

Does accreditation replace state licensure requirements in Florida?

No. Florida facilities — including ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and long-term care facilities — must maintain state licensure through AHCA regardless of accreditation status. Accreditation by an organization such as AAAHC or The Joint Commission can qualify a facility for deemed status, which removes the routine on-site AHCA licensure survey. For ASCs specifically, life-safety inspections still apply regardless of accreditation status. ICCS helps Florida clients prepare for whichever combination of state and accreditation oversight applies to them.

What Florida facility types does ICCS provide infection control consulting for?
