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 communicable disease 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 commited to maintaining the safety and wellbeing 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, and LTC clinical and non-clinical leadership staff are encouraged to participate in (24) virtual ECHO sessions via Zoom and (4) on-site, in person Train-the-Trainer sessions hosted at the CentraState Medical Center in Freehold, NJ.
After participating in this ECHO, participants will be able to:
