Description:
Sepsis remains a complex health issue with distinct challenges and opportunities for infection preventionists and clinical partners. Lessons learned from supply chain interruptions that impact both routine and emergency response care highlight the critical nature of collaboration across disciplines. Further, education and training supported by professional associations can help close the gap between quality outcomes and clinical needs. Held in recognition of International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW), this webinar underscores the global importance of infection prevention and the vital role of infection preventionists in improving patient safety. This session explores collaborative opportunities using scenarios recently encountered by infection preventionists and clinical partners and provides insight into future opportunities as care across healthcare settings continues to be complicated and complex.
