Survey readiness includes having a comprehensive surveillance program for infection control and prevention. Does yours need an upgrade? Do you even have one in place? This jam-packed webinar will help with implementation and program improvement.

WEBINAR DETAILS

Infection control and prevention are critical aspects of delivering quality care. In an environment of value-based care where rehospitalization rates matter, it is essential for healthcare agencies to integrate comprehensive surveillance within the infection control and prevention program. As the public health emergency ends, it is critical to implement a thorough program for survey readiness. This webinar will cover the requirements, the process, trends, data and observations to monitor, and what to implement for patients and staff. Participants will learn how to integrate that data into their agency’s QAPI program and will receive a sample infection control template.
