Infection prevention is critical in long-term care (LTC), and having the right resources makes all the difference. APIC and AAPACN have developed three essential resources to help healthcare professionals implement enhanced barrier precautions, strengthen surveillance, and access key infection prevention resources.
How and when to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP)
Proper use of PPE for high-contact resident care activities
Strategies to protect residents while maintaining mobility
How to develop an effective infection surveillance plan
Data collection, analysis, and reporting techniques
Strategies for tracking trends and reducing HAIs
Identify the source or index case of an outbreak using case studies
Plan for and respond to an outbreak using case studies
Create after-action plans to improve efforts during future outbreaks
