Product Details

 

It is imperative for hospitals to understand 49 pages of the infection control worksheet because the worksheet is used for all validation and certification surveys, and covers more material than what the infection control standards provide.

The program will cover the Hospital Infection Control Worksheet, proposed infection control standards, antibiotic stewardship program, and the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction program. Our expert will discuss vital memos on infection control issues, recommend tracer tools to match the worksheet, and review the most common infection control deficiencies and how to avoid them.
