PPE in Healthcare: How to Improve Culture, Consistency, and Compliance 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. 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. 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. Join us live on Wednesday, October 26, from 1:00–2:30 p.m. Eastern |
