Metrics for Infection Prevention Take number of infections over patient/line days or procedures performed by 1000 patient days Count your Foley and Central Line days at the same time every day NHSN reporting can give you benchmark reports to show how you are doing compared to other CAHs

Challenges in Infection Control MDROs (Multi Drug Resistant Organisms) Track and Identify Trends Safe Practices by Staff Exposures Ambulatory Care Quick turn around of patients Communicable Disease Outbreaks and Bioterrorism Emergency Preparedness - Ebola, Zika, SARS-CoV-2…

Mitigating Risk Hand Hygiene Respiratory Hygiene/Cough Etiquette Use of Transmission-Based Precautions such as: contact precautions, droplet precautions, and airborne precautions Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare personnel such as gloves, gowns, masks, respirators, face shields/eye protection Appropriate use of Foleys and central lines Safe work practices to prevent healthcare worker exposure to blood borne pathogens Annual Sharps Safety Evaluation Safe medication preparation and administration practices Safe Injection Champion(s) Patient Dedicated Equipment Policies to ensure that reusable patient care equipment is cleaned and reprocessed appropriately before use on another patient Role specific education for staff Education to patients and visitors

IP Daily Activity Review Patient Charts Look for: Foleys Central lines Infections requiring isolation Updated lab results Round on Patients and Visit with Nurses and Providers Verify Isolation Signage is up Educate patients and family on isolation precautions Educate staff on isolation precautions Conduct Hand Hygiene Observation Review Daily Microbiology Report Address any gaps in treatment
Slide 17-

IP Weekly Activity Run report on 30 day and 90 day SSIs Create SSI cases as needed Run report for possible CAUTIs and CLABSIs Create HAI cases as needed Perform room cleaning surveillance Spray high touch areas in patient room prior to environmental services cleaning and go through with black light Swab with ATP tester swab after EVS cleaning
Slide 18-

IP Monthly Activity Prepare infection control report for med staff Collect hand hygiene observations from secret observers Remind secret observers for upcoming month to perform duties NHSN reporting Abstract all procedures Abstract HAIs Export procedures and HAIs Upload procedures and denominator data into NHSN Upload any SSI, CAUTI, or CLABSI cases into NHSN Check negative airflow rooms MDRO Report
Slide 19-

IP Yearly Activity Conduct and collaborate with department managers for education in these areas Hand Hygiene Standard & transmission-based precautions Asepsis Sterilization Disinfection Food Sanitation Housekeeping Linen Care Medical/Infectious Waste Injection Safety Separation of clean from dirty Send letters to specialty providers’ office for documentation of influenza vaccine for their staff that come to facility Perform Annual Sharps Review Perform Annual Infection Control Risk Assessment Send out letters to surgeons for previous year regarding SSI rate at facility
