‐

Program Date/Time: Wednesday, April 23 at 1 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. CT

Speaker: Karen Hoffmann, RN, MS, BSN, CIC, FAPIC, FSHEA, Infection Prevention Consultant

Universal nasal decolonization programs are expanding nationwide. This presentation will share the evidence behind universal nasal decolonization and explain why this practice is growing.

A well-designed universal nasal decolonization program can deliver improved patient outcomes, enhanced throughput and improved financial performance.

Join to learn how the practice of universal nasal decolonization is reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and operational costs.

Join to learn how the simple, yet powerful concept of nasal decolonization is reducing healthcare-associated infections and operational costs.

Learning objectives:

  • Explain the role of the nasal vestibule in healthcare-associated infection risk.
  • Discuss the evolution of nasal decolonization.
  • Review the results of 3 new meta-analyses on the efficacy of several nasal decolonization agents.
  • Show examples of how reducing HAIs via a nasal decolonization program can reduce operational costs.
