Infection Prevention Hot Topic: Changes and Best Practices from the Field 2024
January 10, 2024
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. (ET)

Overview
Infection Preventionists are beginning 2024 with great achievement and lessons learned in the 2023 post-pandemic period.  Amid the pandemic, infection prevention’s focus continued to be on “best practices” to prevent health care acquired infections for optimal patient outcomes. The first FHA Infection Prevention Hot Topic for 2024 will be an opportunity to revisit changes and “best practices” from the field.

The webinar series is led by nationally recognized infection prevention expert, Linda Greene, RN, MPS, CIC, FAPIC, and we look forward to having hospital infection preventionists contribute to the discussion. Please join FHA for this important educational program to learn about what your colleagues will be sharing. This virtual event is part of the FHA Infection Prevention webinar series that provides hospital infection preventionists with the latest information, evidence-based practice, and resources for eliminating hospital-acquired infections (HAI).  
 
Objectives
•    Summarize Infection Prevention "best practices" in 2023.
•    Identify one "best practice" you would like to implement in your organization.
•    Participate in discussion and share "best practices" in your organization
