1 - 2 p.m.
Hospital CLABSI rates were, for the most part, at all-time lows when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. They rose significantly during the first COVID-19 surge and, unlike some of the other hospital-acquired infections, have not recovered.
We clearly need to take action to address this. Please look at your CLABSI data to assess your current status. The webinar will cover:
- probable root causes for the increased rates;
- potential intervention to mitigate those causes now and in other surges; and
- back-to-basics CLABSI prevention.
EQIC invites and encourages the attendance of key liaisons, CLABSI leads, infection control practitioners, CMO/CQO/CNOs and other key hospital staff.
