Title
Infection Prevention Learning Journey
Subject
Description
The Infection Prevention Learning Journey introduces learners to concepts found in the Hierarchy of Controls that will enhance infection prevention and control knowledge and skills. Learning modules in the course will cover three levels of the Hierarchy of Controls: engineering, administrative, and personal protective equipment (PPE). While these controls are not mutually exclusive, each module will focus on one particular control.
At the conclusion of this enduring material, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe implementation strategies for effective engineering controls to reduce the transmission of infectious pathogens in healthcare settings.
- Discuss how effective communication between team members can facilitate better infection control practices and how clear instructions and expectations can improve the cleaning and disinfection processes.
- Explain the role of clear, concise communication in training and in real-time situations involving PPE to reduce errors and increase compliance.
