The Infection Control Assessment and Response (ICAR) tools were developed by CDC to assist health departments in assessing infection prevention practices and guide quality improvement activities (e.g., by addressing identified gaps). ICAR tools are administered by the Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antibiotic Resistance Program of the Louisiana Department of Health. The respective ICAR survey for acute care hospitals consists of three domains, including prevention of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
