Description:

This course reviews the seven infection control training elements mandated for New York State healthcare professionals. It details airborne, droplet, and bloodborne pathogens that may be transmitted in the work environment leading to healthcare/hospital-acquired infections (HAI).  

Infection prevention and control (IPC) will be addressed to reduce contact and transmission of pathogens, including multidrug-resistant Tiers 1 to 4 organisms. The course follows the syllabus for infection control and prevention issued by the New York State Departments of Health and Education according to New York State law. The current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for enhanced barrier protection (EBP) in skilled nursing facilities, core elements of sepsis, and infection identification and control are included. CDC guidance, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, evidence-based research, and current New York State law are the foundation for course content.
