Infection Control
Abstract:
Universal Precautions are a set of principles designed to keep individuals (both providers and recipients of services) safe from exposure to infectious organisms and to educate those same individuals what the appropriate response is should an exposure occur.
This course was specifically designed to review the application of these principles to the settings in which SLPs practice and will include examples from the school, home health, long-term care and hospital settings.
We will review the modes of transmission, donning and removing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), scene safety, hand hygiene (like those of us who lived though COVID will ever forget), effective methods of cleaning, and reporting exposures. Time will be provided at the end of the presentation for participants to ask questions.
Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to:
Describe the appropriate level and items of PPE required for each situation you encounter while performing therapy.
Explain appropriate hand hygiene, including how to avoid exposing hands to possible infectious organisms.
Describe the procedure to follow and identify the person to contact if an exposure occurs.
Agenda:
0-7 minutes: Introduction, Purpose, Goals
7-30 minutes: Review Universal Precautions & Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions
30-46 minutes: Response to Various Levels of Risk
46-60 minutes: Questions & Answers
