Join us today for Patient Safety NOW, PSQH's exclusive virtual event focusing on infection prevention. At 11 a.m. Eastern, Marge McFarlane, principal of Superior Performance Consultants, will discuss the hierarchy of resources that need to be considered as infection prevention policies and procedures are reviewed and updated. Then at 12:05 p.m., Lori Moore of GOJO Industries will explain how to improve hand hygiene using a human factors approach.
Most patient engagement initiatives focus on improving provider understanding of the patient’s status, which involves stratifying a patient population to identify pockets of disease and polychronic patients. This enables providers to educate patients about how to manage their conditions and offer outreach opportunities.
On episode 90 of PSQH: The Podcast, Dr. Payal Patel, an infectious disease physician at Intermountain Health, talks about new guidance on preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections. This episode is sponsored by GOJO, the makers of Purell, as part of International Infection Prevention Week.
