Description
This program will be an update to the session performed in '09 and will review the regulatory, legal, and reimbursement changes with respect to healthcare associated infections and will identify some of the biggest exposure risks/impacts for acute care/ ambulatory facilities. The program will then focus on how to manage the liability risk for these exposures including hand hygiene and intervention bundle compliance, environmental cleaning, along with the issue of visitor screening. An actual hospital compliance audit will be reviewed identifying facility risk for the above issues and how to reduce liability in light of the changes impacting the industry.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:

  • strategically develop policies/procedures which can assist in building a defensible case.
  • understand the impending legal changes related to HAIs and their potential impact on hospitals/ASCs.
