Infection Prevention Updates for Acute Care and Outpatient Settings
Mission and Goals
To provide an educational venue that connects infection preventionists and
providers from acute and outpatient facilities across Nebraska with the objective of
promoting the latest research and best practices in infection prevention and control.
These educational webinars are aimed to help promote and strengthen the
Nebraska infection prevention and control infrastructure.

The goals for this educational activity include:
1. Increase knowledge of infection control processes for acute and outpatient
   settings.
2. Increasing awareness of specific infection prevention and control issues that may
   be confronted in acute and outpatient settings.
3. Provide resources to attendees to help them with infection prevention and
   control efforts in their own facilities.

    Risk Assessment
  Presented by Lacey Pavlovsky, RN, MSN, CIC
       Nebraska ICAP Infection Preventionist
Joint Commission Requirements
IC.01.03.01: The hospital identifies risks for acquiring and transmitting infections.

The hospital identifies risks for acquiring and transmitting infections based on
the following:
• Its geographic location, community, and population served
• The care, treatment, and services it provides
• The analysis of surveillance activities and other infection control data

The hospital reviews and identifies its risks at least annually and whenever
significant changes occur with input from, at a minimum, infection control
personnel, medical staff, nursing, and leadership.

The hospital prioritizes the identified risks for acquiring and transmitting
infections. These prioritized risks are documented.

The Joint Commission E-dition (jcrinc.com)
Joint Commission Requirements
IC.01.04.01: Based on the identified risks, the hospital sets goals to minimize
the possibility of transmitting infections.

The organization’s written infection prevention and control goals include the
following
1. Addressing its prioritized risks.
2. Limiting unprotected exposure to pathogens.
3. Limiting the transmission of infections associated with procedures.
4. Limiting the transmission of infections associated with the use of medical
    equipment, devices, and supplies.
5. Improving compliance with hand hygiene guidelines

Joint Commission Requirements
The Joint Commission’s Infection Prevention and Control (IC) standards require
organizations to use the risk assessment process to set goals for a comprehensive
infection control plan.
Specifically, Standard IC.01.04.01 states, “Based on the identified risks,
the [organization] sets goals to minimize the possibility of transmitting infections.”

“The results of the hospital’s infection risk assessment should be prioritized, ideally
in order of level of probability and potential for harm.
The hospital can then set goals for reducing the risks of infections that pose the
greatest threat to patients and the community.
These goals should lead to focused activities, based on relevant professional
guidelines and sound scientific practices.”

Strategies
• Break down into steps
• Assign who is responsible for each part of the plan
• Involve others

For example: Survey staff
    IP develop survey by 5/1/2022
    Unit directors hand out survey during May unit meetings
    Unit directors will return survey to IP by 6/2/2022

     What Clinicians Need to Know about
     Monkeypox in the United States and
     Other Countries
                                                                            CDC Image

     • On 5/24/22, CDC held a Clinical Outreach and Community Activity (COCA) webinar about
       monkeypox including guidance about the typical clinical presentation, treatment options,
       pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, and reporting to public health authorities.
     • As of 5/24/22 there were 8 confirmed orthopox (OPX) cases. Of these, 1 is confirmed
       monkeypox (Massachusetts), the others are considered monkeypox until proven
       otherwise, confirmation testing is only available at CDC.
     • Signs and Symptoms:
          • Historically: characteristic rash preceded by prodromal symptoms (e.g., fever,
              lymphadenopathy, flu-like symptoms)
          • Current cases: atypical features with reason for unusual presentation currently
              unknown
              • Rash still characteristic; but often starting in genital and perianal areas
              • Rash sometimes not disseminating to other parts of body
              • Being recognized at outpatient clinics because easily confused with sexually
                 transmitted infections
              • Prodromal symptoms mild or not occurring

         Monkeypox Infectiousness &
         Transmission
     •   Patient infectious once symptoms begin (whether prodromal or rash symptoms) until lesions scab
         and scabs fall off
     •   Transmission – (Good News is Not Easily Transmitted)
