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.

Carilion IP 在霍林斯大学推广健康和预防
Carilion 诊所感染预防和控制团队最近参加了 4 月23 、 2025举行的霍林斯大学年度学生健康博览会上的一项特别社区外展活动，与学生和教职员工直接讨论重要的健康话题。
Carilion 的感染预防专家 (IP) 为此次活动带来了活力、专业知识和教育，并进行了互动演示，重点关注以下方面：
- 手部卫生
- 防晒安全
- 性健康和性病预防
在一场鼓舞人心的指导和协作表演中，一名实习学生加入了 IP 团队，他对心理健康，特别是与药物滥用和丙型肝炎等传染病相关的心理健康问题，提出了有力的看法。
该团队与霍林斯社区建立了联系，强调了日常保护个人和公共健康的重要性。他们的努力反映了知识产权不仅在医疗保健领域而且在社区推广和教育领域发挥的重要作用。
感谢 Carilion IP 团队对健康促进和预防的承诺。您参与此类活动将加强医疗保健与我们服务的社区之间的桥梁！
