Learn how to perform the vital infection prevention (IP) surveillance and data collection your ASC relies on and get guidance on prioritizing the critical infection prevention surveillance areas your routine audits need to cover, including hand hygiene, safe injection practices, and cleaning and disinfection. Next, look at ways to use what you discover and how to respond if a postoperative surgical site infection occurs, including how to complete a thorough investigation and use data to identify trends. Leave with sample audit tools, a surgical site infection investigation form and real-world advice for communicating surveillance findings to healthcare workers, regulatory agencies and your ASC’s governing body.
