It’s Not Just a Room Turnover: It’s Infection Prevention
Did you know that patients admitted to rooms where the previous occupant had a multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) face a higher risk of acquiring that same organism? Every day, environmental services (EVS) professionals work alongside frontline healthcare staff to reduce this risk and protect patients and residents. When we support EVS teams, we strengthen the entire infection prevention system.
What to Expect and How to Use It: With some EVS staff receiving as little as three days of training, and 83% learning on the job, education needs to be quick, practical, and built into their daily workflow.
- Onboarding: Project Firstline Training Toolkit for Environmental Services (EVS) Staff – A comprehensive training plan that builds both the why and the how, helping EVS staff confidently step into their role as essential infection prevention team members.
- New Refreshers: CDC EVS Microlearns – Quick, practical micro-learns covering key topics like contact time, when to change gloves, and maintaining clean and safe EVS carts, perfect for reinforcing skills in just a few minutes.
- New Observation & Support: VDH Daily Room Cleaning Checklist – A simple, structured checklist to guide room cleaning from start to finish, helping standardize workflows and ensure no critical steps are missed.

强化健康行为：UVA Zions Crossroads 的特别透析圣诞商店
在慢性病患者中推广健康习惯可能具有挑战性，但 UVA Zions Crossroads Dialysis 提供了一个富有创意的例子。行政助理 S.P. 和注册营养师 K.G. 策划并领导了一家独特的透析圣诞商店，以鼓励积极的行为。
计划和参与：该活动的组织时间超过一年，需要稳定的人员配备，因此并非每年都举办。该商店大约有90 % 的商品都是新的，来自庭院旧货出售、员工捐赠（通常会转赠），其中包括搅拌机、烤架、夹克、工具等实用礼物，以及儿童送给祖父母的礼物。
目的和定价：许多透析患者收入有限，假期可能会很紧张。物品价格实惠，因此每个人都可以参与。一些患者甚至分享剩余的“透析费”来帮助其他人购买特殊礼物。
赚取“透析费”：从 9 月开始，患者通过表现出健康的行为即可赚取“透析费”，包括：
- 控制磷含量（每月测量）
- 管理液体摄入量（由 KG 审查了7次治疗）
- 坚持参加透析治疗
- 完成整个治疗时间
- 完成教育性填字游戏
患者最多可赚取 $ 15 ，并且这些钱不会被拿走，即使发生意外事件（住院、手术、交通问题）。提供有关这些行为为何重要的教育。
影响：三名积极主动的患者赚得了全部购物金额15美元，并且大多数44患者都参与了购物。额外的物品被抽奖以传播节日欢乐。
这一举措表明，在假期期间，积极的强化可以为慢性病患者群体带来欢乐并促进健康。
