To help organizations prepare for the requirements of National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) 7, The Joint Commission has developed a free education program, Health Care-Associated Infections, from the Bedside to the C-Suite. No registration is required, and the program is available for viewing at any time. The webinar provides information about:
- reducing health care-associated infections (HAIs) by complying with NPSG.07.03.01 (multi-drug-resistant organisms), NPSG.07.04.01 (central line-associated bloodstream infections), NPSG.07.05.01 (surgical-site infections);
- understanding how these three NPSGs, the Infection Prevention and Control chapter standards, and the Leadership chapter standards work to help organizations put systems in place to reduce HAIs;
- the role infection prevention and control plays in high-reliability organizations.
By Jan. 1, 2010, accredited organizations were expected to be in full compliance with the three NPSGs pertaining to HAIs. To access the webinar, go to www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/InfectionControl. Click on "webinar."
