Program Description:

This seminar will focus on identifying, monitoring and prevention of infections in long-term care; the basics of transmission and ways of incorporating surveillance data into your quality assurance program. CDC guidelines and federal regulations will be reviewed with emphasis on isolation recommendations. Attendees will gain updates on multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) prevalence and how to balance resident-centered care and a home-like environment while trying to prevent the spread of infections. The role of the Infection Preventionist as CDC and F-441 identify the responsibilities of that individual and how the whole team should be involved in infection control.
