Breaches in infection control can and do happen. Every OMS team member must follow specific steps for instrument processing and use of disinfectants to achieve sterility and disinfection. However, common mistakes that team members don't realize they are making can jeopardize patient safety. This session will help the OMS team identify and correct missteps and effectively communicate with team members on corrective action steps. Learn how to develop a culture of infection prevention and safety with hands-on activities and group discussion to elevate problem solving, enhance communication skills and put infection prevention and safety top of mind.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Understand and explain infection control concepts and strategies for the OMS setting.
Locate and comply with manufacturer's instruction for use when operating sterilizers or utilizing disinfectants.
Prevent breaches by learning techniques to communicate errors to co-workers and supervisors.
