TRAINING ISSUE: Building an Effective Program
Without an effective infection prevention program, employees in healthcare facilities can jeopardize the health and safety of their patients and put themselves at risk from dangerous communicable diseases. The CDC and OSHA have strict standards on what immunizations healthcare workers must obtain, what protection they should wear, and the responsibility of the employer to provide a safe environment for patients and employees. The infection preventionist plays a pivotal role in educating and training healthcare employees about their responsibility to minimize patient and employee exposure to communicable diseases, through an effective and supportive infection prevention program.
