Even with the recent Coronavirus outbreak, you’re likely hearing a lot about infection prevention techniques, particularly hand hygiene. But the truth is – it works if done right – and is one of the best practices for yourself and your patients to prevent infections. We’ve made great strides in HAI reduction over the years, reducing infections by 16% over the past five years. But tens of thousands die each year from an HAI. Spend twenty minutes with American Nurse to heighten your understanding around managing infection risks, preventing HAIs and antibiotic resistance, patient safety and advocacy, effective communication, and overcoming hurdles to implement reliable infection prevention practices.
This presentation was packed with so much good information and references – all in one hour! Great job on this presentation. Medication safety is a passion of mine and I certainly work to instill in our nursing staff the importance of being knowledgeable with medication before administering to patients. Thank you for a great presentation.
