CDC Guidance for an Influenza Outbreak
Residents
of long-term care facilities can experience severe and fatal illness
during influenza outbreaks. Offering the influenza vaccine is only one
step in preventing this from happening. To help you develop a full
influenza plan, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
published guidance specific to long term care settings. Obtain these
expert recommendations and share with your team so that everyone is
ready in the event that influenza enters your doors: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/infectioncontrol/ltc-facility-guidance.htm.

The
CDC recommends that all nursing homes take steps to implement
antibiotic stewardship activities. They have provided a checklist which
nursing home staff can use as a baseline assessment, and periodically
thereafter to review progress in expanding stewardship activities on a
regular basis (e.g., annually). Over time, facility staff can implement
activities for each element in a step-wise fashion. To obtain the
checklist for use in your facility, click here: http://www.cdc.gov/longtermcare/pdfs/core-elements-antibiotic-stewardship-checklist.pdf

Hear what our attendees are saying:
I
just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the high quality
education you are providing to nursing leaders across the United States.
Dr. Garrett, you are really an incredible Educator and your immense
knowledge base is pretty incredible! Thank you for sharing your
knowledge, skills and expertise! Your passion for education and the art
and science of nursing really shines through. I have always loved
infection control, and the webinars have been very helpful. I hope you
will be speaking at the upcoming NADONA conference and I look forward to
meeting you.
In
the past I have attended plenty of seminars about infection prevention,
however I have never attended a program with so much useful
information!! The speaker was outstanding!!! Thank you! This is a really good webinar! Hudson is a very talented speaker!
Just want to let you know what an excellent presentation the webinar #1 was!
I
have never seen my 2 nurses so engrossed and very thankful that I had
included them! I could just imagine what the next one will be,
maybe even better.
The speaker was excellent and his new information like cough etiquette is so useful and I will use it here at work.
The best webinar I have ever attended on Infections, the speaker talks to you like he is a great friend! I learned soo much!
We can’t wait for the rest of the series, number one was incredible!
Thank you, thank you- this is exactly what we needed! The speaker answered all of the questions thrown at him like he has had the answers
scripted for months! He is very good!
