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.

卡里利恩诊所
Carilion 诊所感染预防和控制 (IPC) 团队正在让患者参与门诊手部卫生计划。预防感染是一项团队努力，每个人，包括患者，都可以发挥作用。手部卫生是预防感染的最重要策略，通过该计划，Carilion 致力于提供最好的患者护理。
患者反馈监测计划邀请门诊患者对其提供者的手部卫生提供反馈。在就诊期间，患者会收到反馈卡，他们可以在卡上表示“是”、“否”或“不确定”，他们的医疗服务提供者在进行身体接触之前是否进行了手部卫生。这些数据被汇编到 Tableau 仪表板中并与站点实时共享以评估合规性。该计划的目标是强调临床环境中手部卫生的重要性，并让患者成为感染预防的盟友和倡导者。
自该计划推出以来，Carilion Clinic IPC 团队一直积极与门诊诊所合作并推广该计划，并为每个诊所设定了每月提交40观察结果的目标。该团队与市场营销和技术部门合作，确保观察工具的可用性。门诊手部卫生观察总数从2022年的12 、 311增加到2023年的17 、 033 。截至 7 月2024 ，门诊已收集到11 、 259观察结果，而今年才过去一半！
