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.
目标受众： 基本 IPC 教育水平
弗吉尼亚州长期护理基础设施试点项目（VLIPP）
Carilion Clinic 的弗吉尼亚长期护理基础设施试点项目 (VLIPP) 是一项由拨款资助的项目，旨在改善当地长期护理 (LTC) 机构内的感染预防和控制实践。自该计划启动以来，该团队一直致力于各种项目，并与西南地区的 LTC 机构合作。该项目的重点是对员工进行针对特定环境的感染预防和控制实践的教育。该团队以有趣且引人入胜的方式提供教育，包括密室逃脱和结合现实生活场景的模拟训练。该计划还每季度举办一次“保持了解”网络研讨会系列，旨在提供有关当前感染预防和控制问题的最新信息和指导。请访问Carilion Clinic 感染预防和控制以获取有关 Carilion Clinic VLIPP 的更多信息。
除了教育、培训和现场技术支持外，还为 LTC 设施感染预防专家 (IP) 推出了点对点网络。该网络的目标是为 LTC IP 创建一个安全的空间，以便他们相互联系、共享资源和观点并相互支持。该网络为 IP 提供了一个渠道，可以讨论设施中的 IP 挑战、解决问题并促进 IP 之间的指导关系。该网络的灵感源自设施 IP 收到的反馈。了解其他 IP 如何在 LTC 环境中实践以及如何扮演其角色和承担责任的兴趣被确定为一个反复出现的主题。
点对点网络的成功启动体现了 LTC IP 对其工作的奉献精神。Carilion Clinic VLIPP 团队很高兴看到该网络的积极响应。欢迎弗吉尼亚州的 LTC IP 加入该网络。有关加入的更多信息，请联系下面列出的 Carilion Clinic VLIPP 感染预防专家。
