Code Red to Code Written: ChatGPT for IP Programs and Policies

1 IPU

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 from 10:00 am ET - 11:45 am ET

Speakers: Tia Johnson MSHS, MT(AMT), CIC and Katharine Hoffman

Infection preventionists juggle urgent clinical demands, evolving guidelines, and a growing need for well-crafted policies and program infrastructure—often with limited time and support. Enter ChatGPT: your new AI-powered brainstorming partner, policy assistant, and documentation sidekick. This rapid-fire session explores how to leverage ChatGPT for developing infection prevention programs, drafting and refining policies, and generating supporting materials such as job aids, risk assessments, and surveillance protocols.

You’ll learn how to craft prompts that yield useful, accurate outputs aligned with evidence-based practice and regulatory standards. We’ll cover best practices for using ChatGPT to support decision-making, accelerate writing, and enhance team collaboration without sacrificing accuracy or professional integrity. Real-world examples will be shared, with live demonstrations of how to go from ""code red"" gaps to ""code written"" solutions in minutes—not weeks.

Whether you're leading a new initiative, revising outdated protocols, or trying to wrangle that policy binder into shape, this session will give you the tools to work smarter (not harder) with AI. No tech experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to think outside the binder.
