Healthcare-Associated Infection Mini-Summit 2022

Healthcare-Associated Infection Mini-Summit 2022 is organized by Sepsis Alliance and will be held on Dec 15, 2022.

Description:
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) present a serious concern for healthcare professionals: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that one in every 31 hospital patients has at least one HAI each day.

• Urinary Catheter & Culture Stewardship in Infection and Sepsis Prevention;
• Improving Patient-Provider Communication to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections in Hospitalized Patients

The activity will provide attendees with updated clinical knowledge and recommendations for timely infection prevention and treatment.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this event, the attendee should be able to:

• Describe the current landscape and burden of HAIs; 
• Identify department- and specialty-specific opportunities to improve HAI prevention measures;  
• Understand current clinical knowledge and best-practice recommendations for prevention and treatment of HAIs.
