Infection Prevention Overview 2024 028-A 1.0 CE

In September and October, our focus will be on infection prevention. Preventable infections pose a significant risk to patient safety and may impact hospital finances, as hospital-acquired infections may not be reimbursable. Infections can largely be prevented through detailed processes and consistent adherence to protocols, with handwashing being a prime example. As healthcare providers, it’s our responsibility to prevent these infections. During this focus area, our classes will cover bloodborne pathogens, infection prevention, back injury prevention, and accident investigations.
