Ask the IP: Infection control
is NOT just a box to check in long-term care
Join the conversation with AMS Infection Prevention Partners Chief Infection Control Officer, Heather Hutson, RN, IP-BC, who will share her expertise and insights, as well as answer your questions, on what facilities need to do to establish and maintain an effective Infection Prevention & Control program. Topics to be covered include:
1
Empower your IPs
Infection Preventionist isn’t just a title alone; it’s a critical role in your facility. Yet one of the most common things we hear in facilities is that IPs don’t have the education or support they need. Let’s change this.
2
Infection surveillance should be proactive and preventative
In fact, it’s required: F880 is the most-cited CMS violation three years running, yet we often walk into facilities without proactive systems in place.
3
Think and track beyond COVID-19
Unfortunately for some facilities, tracking of current infection control and prevention measures are focused specifically on COVID-19 and its highly contagious variants. COVID isn’t going away any time soon, but neither are multidrug resistant organisms, so let’s think and track beyond COVID.
4
Actionable recommendations
We’ll give you actionable recommendations to shore up your IPC program, ensure your entire team is educated and empower your IPs to have the safest facility you can.
