Effective surveillance of potential infections and outbreaks is a critical component of a robust infection prevention and control plan. Infection Preventionists need appropriate tools and data to accurately support infection criteria to ensure proper antibiotic use. Surveillance for outbreaks is crucial to quickly identifying and containing the outbreak.

This webinar offers strategies to enhance your infection surveillance program, ensuring it meets the necessary criteria and follows best practice recommendations. Additionally, we will cover the new CMS requirement to implement the CDC’s Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) in nursing homes, introduced earlier this year. The session will detail the indications for EBP use and proper personal protective equipment to ensure compliance.
