Prior to founding ICCS, Ms. Segal served as an infection control manager at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital in Malvern, Pa., for one year and as the director of infection control at Robert F. Kennedy Medical Center Los Angeles for 14 years. Ms. Segal also led the State of Pennsylvania’s mandatory Healthcare-Associated Infections Advisory panel.
In addition to offering her expert insight and opinions to numerous Becker’s ASC Review articles, Ms. Segal also helps moderate topics, including best practices for cleaning and sterilization, in a blog dedicated to the ophthalmic surgical community. “It is imperative that ASCs look at developing and maintaining safe practices for patients before they are inspected [by regulatory bodies]. Being proactive in today’s environment will serve the facilities well and with stellar practices in place, they reduce the risk of being cited,” she said in an interview with Becker’s ASC Review.
