Title : Ambulatory Surge Centers: Infection Control on a Staff Level
Speaker : LoAnn Vande Leest

Webplay Recording Date : 10-27-2010
Webplay Price : $ 160 for two weeks viewing

Webinar Overview:

This webinar is designed to bring infection prevention to the staff level. Intended for managers who want to increase compliance with staff members and staff members who are available to listen as well!

CMS has “tightened the screws” where ASC infection prevention is concerned. Rather than bemoaning the fact that some of their edicts are unreasonable, we just need to get on board and comply…if we don’t, the alternative can be detrimental to our patients, our work environment and our jobs.

Target Audience:

• Periop and Perianesthesia Coordinators
• Staff RNs

Webinar Objectives:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of staying current with infection prevention at all levels of the ASC
• How to participate actively and effectively in surveillance of infection prevention in an ASC
• Understand the importance of consistency in performance
• Verbalize how QAPI and Infection Prevention work together

Webinar Outline:

• Infection prevention and the ASC - where are the hot spots?
• Surveillance - what does it mean and whose responsibility is it?
• Doing the steps consistently and correctly - this is a lifestyle, not just for surveyor show
• QAPI and Infection Prevention - a hand in hand partnership
