Infection Control and Infectious Diseases
Infection control practices in healthcare have changed radically since the advent of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C in the 1980s. While the hazards remain, changes in care practices and protective devices have improved the safety of healthcare professionals against bloodborne pathogens as never before.
This program describes the dangerous bloodborne viruses themselves and how they are transmitted.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Describe the characteristics of HIV and AIDS.
Describe the characteristics of hepatitis B and C.
Describe the sources of transmission of bloodborne infections.
Describe the modes of transmission of bloodborne infections outside the workplace.
Describe the modes of transmission of bloodborne infections at the workplace.

After intense study by both the CDC and OSHA, new recommendations and mandates were made that brought about many changes in healthcare practice to help prevent the spread of bloodborne infections. Some of these involve changes to practices at work - such as to regularly wearing personal protective equipment - but others require basic changes to the engineering and design of medical equipment to make them safer to use.
This programs will examine OSHA mandated changes in medical equipment - engineering controls - and the way tasks are performed - work practice controls
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Describe the safe handling of sharps and use of safer needle devices.
Describe decontamination and cleaning procedures.
Describe the CDC hand hygiene guidelines.

One effect of the AIDS epidemic was an intensified scrutiny of infection control practices throughout American and world healthcare, particularly practices relating to the transmission of bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV and the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses. After intense study by both the CDC and OSHA, new recommendations and mandates brought many changes in healthcare practice to help prevent the spread of these bloodborne infections.
This program will examine the measures you can take in the long term care environment to prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens, as well as how to protect yourself in the healthcare workplace.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Describe Universal Precautions.
Describe Standard Precautions.
Describe post-exposure responses.
Describe the use of gloves for protection against bloodborne infections.
Describe the use of eyeware for protection against bloodborne infections.
Describe the use of gowns for protection against bloodborne infections

This news documentary reports on a surprising solution to escalating costs, unnecessary deaths and waste in America's hospitals. Doctors and nurses tell how they did their best, working overtime, while hospital conditions worsened. They were delighted to learn a new way to improve patient care dramatically and reduce unnecessary deaths, suffering, errors, infections and costs without additional resources or government regulations. A patient is not an automobile, but... The unlikely solution was to use Toyota management principles called "systems thinking" to improve their hospitals. Systems thinking allows leaders and staff to see the complex, modern workplace with "new eyes" and turn problems into improvements. It has saved up to 50 percent in costs, thousands of lives, and avoided hundreds of thousands of medical errors. Significant improvements have already begun in hospitals in several major cities.

Hepatitis B is the most common Hepatitis virus affecting more than a billion people world-wide. Unfortunately many of the people who carry the virus don't even know they're infected. As a result the infection continues to proliferate. But there is a serious effort to eradicate this virus, through treatment and vaccine programs. The important first step is for those in the "at risk" categories to be tested. In this program we hear first hand accounts of what could happen if the infection remains untreated for many years.
