It is estimated that 1 to 3 million serious infections occur every year in skilled nursing, assisted living, and long-term care facilities.

Join us to learn how to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the spread of infectious diseases through surveillance, education, treatment, prevention, and control. 

Led by a multidisciplinary team of leaders working in Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, and Long-Term Care Facilities and infectious disease experts, we aim to strengthen your skills to develop a quality Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Program that meets regulatory standards and provides tools to detect, prevent, and respond to COVID-19 and other infectious pathogens.

We are committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of staff, patients, and residents. The SNF-LTC IPC ECHO is rooted in best-practice IPC protocols and evidence-based guidelines to provide safe, equitable, and culturally appropriate care.

All current SNF, ALF, LTC Infection Preventionists, Directors of Nursing, Administrators, and other clinical and administrative leadership staff are encouraged to participate in (15) virtual ECHO sessions and (7) Skill Enhancement Workgroup sessions. The additional workgroup sessions allow participants to participate in small group coaching and mentoring to address their facility-specific quality improvement initiatives.

Attend a minimum of 15 sessions and complete all requested program evaluations, and your facility may be eligible for a $2,500 payment after completing a Collaborative Agreement.
