As part of Phase 3 of CMS’ new survey process, facilities are required to have a trained infection preventionist by November 2019. Even though that’s two years away, providers must start preparing now to meet the expanding requirements being rolled out before the advent of Phase 3—including the mandate that all facilities have an antibiotic stewardship program in place by November 28, 2017.
During this 90-minute webinar, Brian Garavaglia, PhD, FACHCA, will help participants prepare for the infection control requirements that are part of Phases 2 and 3 of the survey process changes. He will address the impact antibiotic resistance has had on long-term care, as well as prevention methods that are part of CMS’ antibiotic stewardship requirement. Attendees will learn how to use other CMS requirements, such as the facility assessment and QAPI, to create an effective infection prevention and control program. Attendees will also learn tips for training their infection preventionist.
