PPE in Healthcare: How to Improve Culture, Consistency, and Compliance

Presented by:
Marjorie Quint-Bouzid, MPA, RN, NEA-BC
Kevin Bussiere, RN-CIC

In the tense moments when your facility is faced with a hazardous situation or patient, proper PPE training is put to use to protect staff and patients while minimizing risk.

After the October 2014 outbreak of Ebola in the U.S. led to several life-threatening cases in U.S. hospitals, it became apparent that many healthcare workers don't follow proper PPE protocol, either because they don’t realize the risks or because they haven’t been properly trained. The only way to ensure your staff is ready for such a situation is through awareness and training on an organizationwide level. 

During this program, expert speakers Kevin Bussiere, RN-CIC, and Marjorie Quint-Bouzid, MPA, RN, NEA-BC, will clarify confusing PPE situations as well as explain when and how to implement PPE best practices and an effective worker training program. Bussiere and Quint-Bouzid will demonstrate the role of technology, the use of a risk assessment, and the PPE needs of staff, as well as how to use peer support to improve compliance.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of technology, research and development, and regulations on healthcare PPE advancements
• Identify different types of PPE and when to appropriately use them
• Use a risk assessment to identify categories of staff and their PPE needs
• Demonstrate how to use peer support to improve worker compliance
