Infection Control Protocols and The Infection Control Lead for Staff - 2 Hours

The residents and staff in long-term care facilities are at higher risk of infection than the average population. Infections acquired in healthcare settings account for as many as 380,000 deaths annually. Infections add to health care costs, increase hospitalizations, and diminish your residents’ quality of life. For these reasons, infection control must be one of the primary goals of care in your facility. This course reviews the regulatory requirements for infection prevention and the role of the Infection Preventionist.
