Don’t Underestimate Legionella:What Every Infection Preventionist Should Know
Legionella is underreported and an undervalued disease challenge. IPs have had to become construction ex- perts; we forget what diseases are associated with construction and renovation. This presentation uses one IP’s experience with a legionella outbreak at her hospital and the lessons learned to assist IPs in planning for and protecting the hospital staff, patients, and visitors from waterborne pathogens, in particular legionella. This presentation addresses legionella’s history, testing, treatment, and the hospital legionella task force’s waterborne pathogens plan.

HOME HEALTH/ HOSPICE
Infection Prevention and Control in Home Care and Hospice Preventing and controlling infections is an integral component of an effective patient safety program in all care settings. However, providing care in the home environment often presents unique infection prevention and control challenges. Home care and hospice organizations need to be prepared for an increased scrutiny of their infection control programs during regulatory and accrediting body surveys. This session, specific to care provided in the home setting, focuses on these unique challenges and provides practical guidance on how to implement a home care infection prevention and control program that is based on regulatory requirements and evidenced based-guidelines adapted for care in the home setting.
