Event Details

Implementing a multidisciplinary approach to infection control can be powerful. Join Dr. Abigail Carlson, Medical Officer for the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Kristen Hayes, Director, Clinical Quality, AHA Center for Health Innovation, American Hospital Association (AHA) for a discussion on the importance of multidisciplinary teams and teamwork and communication in improving infection prevention and control. Learn more about a new resource developed from the CDC’s Project Firstline, the TeamSTEPPS Video Toolkit, and how these videos can be used with health care teams to strengthen infection prevention and control (IPC) efforts.

Register for this month’s webinar to get an overview of Project Firstline, CDC’s national training collaborative for IPC. AHA is proud to partner with Project Firstline, to offer hospitals and health systems the tools and resources needed to engage all stakeholders around IPC – from bedside nurses to administrators to environmental staff. The speakers will share several Project Firstline resources that have been developed with a variety of heath care workers in mind, identify what the most pressing needs are in IPC in their facility, and offer examples on how health care workers can begin to use these tools today.
