INFECTION CONTROL IN LONG TERM CARE: SAFEGUARDING YOUR ENVIRONMENT (2018 UPDATE)
Patients are being discharged sooner from the hospital. As a result, we're seeing residents enter long term-care facilities even earlier, often with greater medical and nursing needs.

Infectious diseases pose significant hazards to staff and residents in long-term care. Controlling the spread of infection and communicable diseases is like fighting an invisible enemy. When staff members take the appropriate precautions, caregivers and residents should never see the results. Only when infection control breaks down do the hazardous effects become obvious.

The consequences of infectious diseases can be painful. Residents are at increased risk of infection. Many of them are sick, while others are elderly and more vulnerable. Many just cannot handle any further insult to their frail condition. Prevention is where staff and caregivers in long-term care can have the greatest impact on safety and good health. In this educational video, we will:

~ Define the risk imposed by infectious disease
~ Explain the most up-to-date infection control procedures
~ Describe procedures your staff and caregivers must take to ensure safety for themselves and their residents
~ Demonstrate proper hand hygiene
~ Define Standard Precautions to help reduce the spread of infection
~ Describe proper food handling techniques
