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.

一杯IP茶
让我们举起杯子，通过 IP 每周会议庆祝弗吉尼亚州卫生部 Cuppa Tea成立一周年！这是感染预防专家之间建立联系和分享知识的一年，这一切都要感谢 Cuppa Tea。受到 VDH HAI 和 AR 项目的 Ginger Vanhoozer 和 VCU Health 的 IP Eva Anderson（感谢 Eva 的超棒名字！）之间喝茶（或喝咖啡！）的舒适聊天的启发，Cuppa Tea 已成为 IP 爱好者的首选聚会场所。
忘记沉闷的办公室氛围——Cuppa Tea 的设计旨在让您感觉像在一家悠闲的咖啡店里小聚。每次会议前，随着音乐营造的氛围，您会感受到友情和温暖，让交流想法变得轻而易举。我们可以谈谈数字吗？在首次举办的第一年，Cuppa Tea 就吸引了1 、 397参与者，许多人将其变成了每周的传统。
但 Cuppa Tea 不仅仅关乎数字，还关乎积极的氛围。这是您每周快速检查最新感染预防更新的机会、获取一些教育知识的机会以及与其他 IP 和 VDH 主题专家交流想法的安全空间。参与者称之为“一种有趣且互动的保持联系的方式”，“就像与了解情况的老朋友叙旧”，并且“为弗吉尼亚州的 IP 带来了一股清新的气息”。《Cuppa Tea》以其易于理解的格式和丰富的资源，已成为弗吉尼亚州医疗保健专业人士日程表中的必备品。
要在任何星期三下午2拿起您的杯子并加入该小组，请在VDH HAI 和 AR 培训和教育网站或Cuppa Tea 注册链接上获取邀请。祝愿新的一年里，我们能与同事和朋友建立更有意义的联系、分享更多见解，并喝更多杯茶（或咖啡）！为带有 IP 的 Cuppa Tea 干杯！
