Learning systems approach to infection prevention with Shannon Davila. We’re 10 minutes in already have 3 homework assessments!!!
The best talks give you things to take away.
I didn’t know Shannon worked for @ECRI_Org ! I love ECRI!!
During Covid 20k IP related events to that PSO alone. By using pt safety data tied to surveillance data you can tell more of the story.
Link harm event data and surveillance data. #APIC2022
Safety huddles: in this context it sounds like a post infection debrief on the unit. In this example nursing was attracted to the effort and really bolstered the huddle by always attending. Sounds like a great idea. #APIC2022
And off to @DrCindyHou !!
How about we use patients engagement for IP? In this context it was for hand hygiene data points or feedback for the cleanliness of the environment. #APIC2022
Ugh. Lost a tweet. This app is infuriating sometimes
The presenters are connecting their suggestions back to the @apic competency model. Great work on helping IPs realize this makes us better.
Use human factors engineering to assess IP processes. I love this idea. Citing the HERO:
Engage leadership and appropriately resource trainings are important to IP effort successes. #APIC2022
Learning networks:
ECHO tele-mentoring is like a hub and spoke model for learning. Expert rich facilities disseminating to areas with less resources. Sounds a lot like @apic#IPTalk#APIC2022
Lastly: advancing safety goals
The article cited is proposed benchmarks for pediatric abx prescribing. The SHARPER collaborative came together to coordinate standard goals to better their pediatric safety goals
I’m in the pseudo clabsi outbreak presentation #APIC2022
Good review of mediports, communication when an outbreak is suspected, and what steps to take when considering whether or not bacterial isolates are ‘related’ so to speak. #apic2022
Observations in procedure area showed some opportunities including drift from standard practices.
Tim editorial:
How many of us in IP have heard or experienced this before? Reinforces the need to be in the clinical space.
I’m in “Motivational strategies for more effective change management”
Motivation for change management. One of the speakers had to go to a client hospital for a State IP Audit. Peak IP right there. Being pulled from one important thing to take care of another. #apic2022
Side bar. No seatbelt laws in New Hampshire. The state where the motto is: Live Free or Die.
