Infection Preventionist

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job Description (intro), Responsibilities (long list), Additional duties (same as responsibilities repeated), Qualifications (Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications), About Us (some description), About The Team (EEO etc). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description intro?), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split into Required and Preferred? but we can combine under Qualifications). Skills maybe part of Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Possibly Requirements if distinct from Qualifications? The posting has Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could treat that as Qualifications. There's no separate Requirements section. Skills maybe not explicit; we could omit. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (the responsibilities appear twice). We need to deduplicate. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content: Job Description intro: "The Department of Infection Control at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is seeking a full-time TH Staff Associate / Infection Preventionist." That's about the role. Responsibilities: list of duties. We need to combine unique items from the two blocks (they are largely same but some variations). Let's list unique responsibilities: - Evaluates quality of patient care and patient outcomes as they relate to healthcare-associated infections. - Collects, prepares and analyzes healthcare-associated infection data. - Presents infection data and makes recommendations for actions. - Monitors employee compliance in use of barriers and infection prevention measures. - Prepares and presents education offerings for the staff. - Serves as resource to all departments and personnel. - Implements programs to protect the healthcare workers, visitors, and others in the healthcare environment. - Sets and recommends policies and procedures to prevent adverse events. - Provides internal and external reporting of information and data. - Promotes compliance with regulations, guidelines, and accreditation requirements. - Collects, reviews, analyzes and interprets surveillance data and recommends appropriate actions to clinicians and administrators targeted to reduce or eliminate infectious risks in patients and staff. - Conducts investigations of suspected infectious outbreaks. - Conducts activities related to exposure of patients and employees to communicable diseases. - Assesses all positive cultures. - Properly classifies as hospital acquired or community acquired through concurrent or retrospective review of the patient charts. - Develops, reviews, evaluates and implements infection control policies and procedures to improve quality of care and meet current recommended guidelines. - Educates specific patient population and their families regarding health promotion/infectious disease prevention, and management of their care. - Functions as an educational resource in the areas related to Infection Control. - Plans, develops and conducts in-service education programs for University Hospital of Brooklyn (UHB) employees. - Participates in hospital orientation program, educating new staff about their role in infection control. - Instructs hospital personnel in standard and specific infection control procedures. - Consults with department and administrative staff on infection control issues. - Initiates and participates in quality improvement projects. - Provides for the integration with the hospital's Performance Improvement Program through the performance of PI related functions and reporting mechanisms. - Plans, organizes, develops, coordinates and directs a hospital-wide plan for the prevention, surveillance and control of infection. - Facilitates Infection Control Committee meetings in conjunction with IC Director; i.e. agenda, minutes. - Participates in Environmental Rounds (maybe from "Participates in Environmental Rounds" line). - Inspects hospital construction projects for infection control issues during all stages of the project. - Participates in periodic surveys of patient care areas. - Provides consultative services on product and equipment evaluation. - Reviews monthly surgical reports. - Prepares special and routine reports and perform special projects, including research studies. - Serves as an active member of the assigned committees and/or departmental PI working groups. - Acts as liaison to the NYCDOHMH, NYSDOH, and CDC. - Submits reports to NYSDOH, HERDS, NYCDOH for communicable disease, NHSN and ad hoc reports. Also "Participate in Environmental Rounds" appears later. We need to ensure no duplication. Now Qualifications: Required Qualifications list: - Degree in Nursing, Epidemiology or related health field. - Masters-level education in related field. - Desirable experience in structured patient education experience and/or design of patient education program. - Ability to develop policies and procedures. - Knowledgeable in adult education principles and able to develop and maintain effective interpersonal relationships. - Demonstrate proficiency in accessing information systems; computer, fax, copier, multiline telephones, etc. - Demonstrate effective verbal, written and listening skills. - Basic math ability, including understanding of basic statistical principles. - Effective communication with patients, visitors, hospital staff, and physicians. - Demonstrate ability to be an effective team member, offering input, willingness to trust the skills and expertise of other team members, share in group decision-making, and refer them to appropriate sources of help, if indicated. - Demonstrate effective conflict management problem-solving, and team building skills. - Maintain a balanced, focused, stable approach when faced with emergency situations. - Demonstrate appropriate coordination of tasks and duties using effective organizational/priority setting skills. - Formulate and establish effective working relationships with all healthcare team members, patients, and families. - Or, a satisfactory equivalent combination of experience, education and training to the above. Preferred Qualifications: - Certification in Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (CBIC) preferred. About Us: "Are you looking to take your career to new heights with a leader in healthcare? SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is one of the nation's leading metropolitan medical centers. As the only academic medical center in Brooklyn, we serve a large population that is among the most diverse in the world. We are also highly-ranked by Castle Connolly Medical, a healthcare rating company for consumers, among the top 5 leading U.S. medical schools for training doctors." About The Team: Actually the heading "About The Team" then EEO statement. We should remove EEO boilerplate. The "About The Team" maybe just a heading but no substantive content besides EEO. Since we must not emit heading with filler/placeholder text. So we should omit About The Team section entirely because after removing EEO there's nothing left. The "About Us" is substantive. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, About Us (maybe we could treat as About the organization but not in list of allowed headings; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. About Us is not in list, but we could maybe put it under About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list. So we can use other headings if needed? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. But we have About Us content; maybe we can incorporate into About the role? The About the role currently is just the intro sentence. We could expand About the role to include the About Us description. That would be okay: About the role section can contain description of the role and the organization. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can have About the role heading with a paragraph that includes both the role description and the organization description. Thus we will have:

Then Responsibilities

Responsibilities

with

• items. Then Qualifications

  Qualifications

  with maybe split into Required and Preferred? Could use
  • for each qualification. Could also separate Required and Preferred with headings? But only allowed headings are those; we could still include

    maybe but not needed. We'll just list all qualifications as list items, maybe mark preferred with a note. We must not invent content. We'll list required qualifications as items, and then add a note for preferred: "Certification in Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (CBIC) preferred." We should not include the "Or, a satisfactory equivalent combination..." as a separate item? It's part of required qualifications; we can include as a list item. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact, etc. Now produce HTML. Let's craft responsibilities list items, ensuring no duplicates. I'll write them as concise but preserving meaning.
