Workshop Overview:
Proactively prevent infection in health care facilities during maintenance, renovation, and construction.
Designed for individuals directly involved in the construction, renovation, and operation of health care facilities, this program identifies the infection prevention issues that every contractor, facility manager, architect, and engineer must address on the job. While working in a health care environment, you need to understand your unique role and be prepared to implement processes to protect patients, staff, and visitors from hospital-acquired infections. Through lectures, case study reviews, problem-solving exercises, and group discussions, you will become a more valuable member of the health care construction team.
Topics Covered:
- Risks to patients during construction
- Fundamentals of Life Safety and Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM)
- Infection prevention
- Equipment and systems unique to health care facilities
- Customer and patient expectations
Learning Outcomes:
- Create and maintain work areas that support the facility’s infection prevention protocols in order to reduce transmission of hospital-acquired infections
- Educate and train your team on infection prevention and best practices
- Explain the importance of conducting an infection control risk assessment (ICRA) for every project
- Explain the intent of the various compliance, regulatory standard, and guideline-setting agencies, including the Joint Commission, Facility Guidelines Institute, and Centers for Disease Control
