Learning Objectives During this series, participants should be better able to: 1. Recognize infection prevention and control issues for application of the recommendations to mitigate these issues. 2. Identify resources on infection prevention and control that will be helpful to mitigate infection prevention and control challenges. 3. Describe latest updates on COVID-19 pandemic related to infection prevention and control practices in acute and outpatient settings. Target Audience Healthcare professionals working in acute and outpatient settings. To include medical directors, nursing staff, directors of nursing, infection preventionists, quality program leaders, administrators, consultant pharmacists or other staff working in Acute 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. 4. Provide resources to attendees on the most up to date COVID-19 pandemic related guidance and recommendations.

Infection Prevention 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 Resources, Using the Risk Assessment to Set Goals and Develop the Infection Prevention and Control Plan.

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.” Joint Commission Resources, Using the Risk Assessment to Set Goals and Develop the Infection Prevention and Control Plan.

Updates Presented by NE ICAP
COVID-19 Booster Updates CDC - COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters
51 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
52 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) • Direct or indirect contact with body fluids or lesion materials • Contact with fomites • Exposure to respiratory secretions • Examples of high and intermediate risk exposures • Shared towels and bedding (infectious body fluids and scabs may be present) • Skin-to-skin contact with a patient who has monkeypox • Being inside the patient's room or within 6 feet of a patient during any procedures that may create aerosols from oral secretions, skin lesions, or resuspension of dried exudates, without wearing an N95 or equivalent respirator (or higher) and eye protection • Outpatient clinics and acute care facilities and providers are highly encouraged to read the CDC HAN and review the slides and video once available if you missed the webinar. • 5/20/22 CDC HAN Advisory • 5/24/22 CDC COCA Webinar
SHEA/IDSA/APIC Compendium 2022 Update: CLABSI and VAE • SHEA/IDSA/APIC Compendium of Strategies to Prevent Healthcare- Associated Infections in Acute Care Hospitals is a nationally and globally utilized resource that continues to provide up-to-date, concise, and practical recommendations for essential infection prevention practices and guidance on how to build them into the delivery of care. • The compendium was first published in 2008 and then updated in 2014. • Two of the seven guidance documents have been updated so far and the others will be released in 2022. You are encouraged to review. • Strategies to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in acute-care hospitals • Strategies to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia, ventilator- associated events (VAEs), and non-ventilator healthcare-associated pneumonia (NV-HAP) in acute-care hospitals
