How to Access or Subscribe to Infection Control Today Content

Updated

Infection Control Today (infectioncontroltoday.com) is a trade publication covering healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), infection prevention, sterile processing, and patient safety. You can read most of its content directly on the site—news, featured columns, podcasts, and videos are all browsable without an account. If you want ongoing updates delivered to you, the site provides a Subscribe entry point at infectioncontroltoday.com/subscribe. The site's own pricing signals reference "subscribe," but the available material does not specify whether a paid tier exists, so treat subscription terms as something to confirm on the subscribe page itself.

What you can access on the site

The homepage is organized into several content areas, each serving a different way of following the field:

Section What it contains Best for
Latest News Dated news items, e.g., "ICT Weekly Rounds for September 25, 2026" Staying current on outbreaks and policy
Featured Columns Rotating editorial columns and recurring series Following named authors and analysis
Trending on Infection Control Today A ranked list of the most-read items Seeing what peers are reading
Podcasts Audio episodes and interviews Learning during commutes or downtime
Videos Watch-now segments and interviews Visual walkthroughs and conference coverage
Shorts Short-form items Quick updates

Recurring series visible on the site include ICT Weekly Rounds (a periodic roundup), Pathogen Pulse (outbreak tracking, e.g., dengue in Florida), and Bug of the Month. These are useful anchors if you want a predictable reading rhythm rather than scanning everything.

How to subscribe

  1. Go to infectioncontroltoday.com/subscribe.
  2. Review the subscription options and terms presented on that page—the available site material does not state the price or whether registration is required, so read the page before committing.
  3. Complete the sign-up flow as directed.

If you only want to read, you can skip this step entirely and browse the sections above.

Who this is for

The publication describes its audience as infection control, facility, and C-suite leaders, with a focus on strategies for HAIs, patient care, safety, and quality outcomes. It is a practical fit if you are:

  • An infection preventionist (IP) or certified in infection control tracking certification and recertification changes
  • A sterile processing or environmental services (EVS) professional
  • A facility or quality leader who needs a steady feed of IPC news

If you need peer-reviewed primary research, this is a news and strategy source rather than a journal—use it to stay oriented, then follow citations to the underlying studies.

Practical tips for following the content

  • Use the recurring series as a filter. Reading only ICT Weekly Rounds and Pathogen Pulse gives you a condensed view without scanning every item.
  • Check the Trending list first if you have limited time; it surfaces what other professionals found most relevant.
  • Mix formats. Podcasts and videos cover conference sessions and interviews that may not appear as full articles, such as coverage of Exchange26 or AHE 2026.
  • Watch for topic clusters. Recent coverage has centered on Ebola outbreak response, Lyme disease testing, sterile processing burnout, and disinfectant IFU conflicts—useful if one of these matches your role.

Common sticking points

  • Assuming subscription is free. The site references subscribing, but the provided material does not confirm cost or access terms. Verify on the subscribe page.
  • Expecting clinical guidance. Content is news and strategy oriented; for protocol decisions, pair it with your own facility's policies and primary sources.
  • Missing multimedia. If you only read articles, you will miss podcast and video segments that carry distinct interviews and observations.
