SUMMARY:TAP: A Strategy to Prioritize and Implement HAI Prevention Efforts in Your Hospital
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar featuring subject matter experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to learn about a comprehensive strategy to reduce hospital acquired infections (HAI). The Targeted Assessment for Prevention (TAP) Strategy is a CDC-developed framework for quality improvement that uses data to drive interventions that will prevent healthcare-associated infections. \nThe TAP strategy targets healthcare facilities and specific units within facilities that have a disproportionate burden of HAIs so that prevention efforts can be prioritized and implemented where they will have the greatest impact. Our speakers will discuss the latest updates in the strategy and tools\, including adaptation for smaller facilities. \nYour participation in this webinar will provide you with updated information on: \n\nHow to use NHSN collected data to identify opportunities for improvement by facility and unit.\nHow to calculate a cumulative attributable difference (CAD)* to identify a concrete infection reduction goal\nHow to use CDC assessments to target the focus of improvement work and identify high value interventions.\n\n*The number of infections that must be prevented to achieve an HAI reduction goal.  \nWho should attend: \n\nClinical staff\nInfection control practitioners\nPharmacists\nQuality improvement staff\n\nSpeakers:\nKatie White\, MPH\, CIC \nEpidemiologist Division of Healthcare Quality | Promotion Prevention and Response Branch \nCenters for Disease Contol and Prevention \nRonda Cochran\, MPH    \nDeputy Team Lead Hospital Infection Prevention Team \nPrevention and Response Branch Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) \nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention \nRachel Snyder\, MPH  \nScientific Data Analyst Chenega Enterprise Systems and Solutions (chESS) \nPrevention and Response Branch Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) \nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention \n  \nWatch the Recording\nView the Slides

SUMMARY:Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Learning Circle Session II
DESCRIPTION:Did You Know?\n\nUTIs are second most frequent infection in NH facilities\nPrevalence of UTIs range from 0.6 to 21.8%\nUTI treatment represents 30-50% of antibiotic use in NH facilities\n\nWhat is a Learning Circle?\nA Learning Circle is a forum for education and sharing of knowledge so that all participants may benefit from the wisdom and experience of the group. In the IPRO QIN-QIO UTI Learning Circle\, we will: \n\nShare antibiogram data and discuss use of the data to improve care\nPose questions to Subject Matter Experts on UTI stewardship\nUtilize a template action plan to assess UTI management and evaluate quality improvement outcome measures\n\nSession 2 \nApril 26\, 2023 \n12-1pm EST (11-12 pm CST)    \n Local Practices and Current Topics

SUMMARY:Transitions in Care: Preventing Sepsis-Related Readmissions
DESCRIPTION:Anyone can develop sepsis\, a life-threatening\, complex and challenging condition to manage. There are significant human and financial costs associated with it. Every year more than 1.7 million adults in the U.S. develop sepsis\, leading to over 270\,000 deaths. Roughly 19% of sepsis survivors are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days\, leading to $3.1 billion in annual costs. Well-defined systems and processes across the continuum are crucial to delivering the right care at the right time to the right patient. \nThis event will feature proactive transitions in care and hand-off strategies to the next level of care provider to improve patient outcomes and prevent sepsis-related readmissions. The patient voice will be highlighted via a sepsis survivor story. Key discharge planning\, patient and family engagement\, health equity\, infection prevention and patient education tactics will also be shared. \nLearning Objectives:\nThrough this program\, participants will: \n\nReview successful care coordination and partnership strategies across the care continuum to prevent sepsis-related hospital readmissions.\nExplore promising practices for overcoming challenges that affect handoffs to the next level of care.\nLearn how to engage patients and families as partners and integrate their health-related social needs into the discharge planning process to improve patient outcomes.\nHear about a sepsis survivor story\n\n  \nWho Should Attend:\nNurses\, Sepsis Coordinators\, Care Coordinators\, Front-line and Emergency Department Staff\, Infection Preventionists\, Clinical and Hospital Leaders\, Physicians\, Patient Safety and Quality Professionals. \n  \nView Slides\nWatch the Recording\nChange Pathway
