Eastern Standard Time
A hospital must have an active infection control program throughout the facility to track, prevent and control infectious diseases, including Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Additionally, the hospital must have a program for the optimization of antibiotic use through stewardship. This program will discuss the changes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made to the infection control standards in 2019, as well
as the interpretive guidelines developed in July 2022.
The program will cover what a hospital must have in place to comply with the regulations,
such as the qualifications of the infection preventionist, a hospital-wide antibiotic stewardship
program, and nationally recognized infection control standards. This webinar will also cover
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) procedures for cleaning and disinfecting
reusable medical devices and will provide training resources.
