1 Infection Prevention & Control February 22-23, 2017 Sheraton Hotel, Manama, Bahrain

2 Infection prevention & Control This training program is designed for healthcare workers to teach them best practices of Infection prevention & control The program will include: Infection Prevention and Control Program: Organizational Structure and components. Historical Background of the IPC practices Impact of healthcare-associated infections on outcomes and costs IPC Sources & guidelines (e.g. APIC. CDC. NHSN,JCIA, CBAHI.etc.) The principal functions of the IPC team Infection prevention committee (IPC), TOR, Structure, Importance The role of infection prevention professionals IPC Dept. Staffing as per the guidelines The organization Charts of the IPC & role of the facility top management in supporting the IPC program General Principles of Epidemiology Definition of the epidemiology science Differences between the epidemiology & the clinical medicine What is meant by the epidemiological triangle? Uses of epidemiology in healthcare

3 Difference between the following terms (incidence, prevalence, endemic, epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, enzootic, epizootic, zoonosis, reservoir, fomites, risk, risk factor, infection, HAI, CAI,colonization, carrier, convalescent carriers, chronic carrier How to understand infection transmission through the chain of infection Hand Hygiene Types & indication of hand hygiene as per the new updated guidelines Reasons for poor adherence to hand hygiene Dispenser Location & how to distribute it inside the facility in effective & efficient way The proper technique of each type of hand hygiene The WHO 5 Moments Staff Education and Effective Interventions to improve the hand hygiene compliance How to measure & improve the hand hygiene compliance rates in his facility Personal Protective equipment s: Types of PPE Used in Healthcare Settings & Indication of suing of each PPE Factors Influencing PPE Selection Respiratory Protection How to Safely Don, Use, and Remove PPE Sequence for Donning & removing PPE Proper way for donning & removing each PPE PPE required for Standard Precautions PPE for transmission based isolation Precautions

4 Isolation Precautions: Types of isolation Precautions Elements required to preventing transmission of infections The CDC system for categorizing the recommendations Category IA, IB,. difference between each of them Standard Precautions, components & the related details Contact Precautions, common diseases &PPE required Droplet Precaution common diseases &PPE required Page 3 of 4 DR. Ahmed Farouk Airborne Precaution, engineering requirements for implementing it Difference between the negative, positive & neutral pressure isolation rooms & how to monitor the pressure differential Protective Environment Prevention Multidrug-Resistant Organisms Definition of & when to implement active surveillance cultures (ASC) Aseptic Technique: Definitions of Antiseptic agent,asepsis, Aseptic technique, Clean technique Indication of Aseptic & clean techniques Waste Management Definition, Regulated Medical Waste (RMW), HCW, Biosafety Level (BSL), Certification of Treatment, Treatment Standard Medical waste categories, discussion of each category Role of each department in the medical waste plan Non-sharp infectious wastes; segregation and packaging within the patient care areas

Etc.) Different topes of the sterilization cycle indicators & indication of using each one

6 Surveillance Definitions of the attack rate, baseline, case, Case definition,cluster, Denominator, Distribution, Incidence rate, Numerator, Population,Prevalence, Prevalence rate,proportion, Rate, Ratio, Sensitivity, Specificity, Surveillance, Validity Different types of surveillance (Total House Surveillance, Targeted Surveillance, Combination Surveillance Strategy) Basic Statistical Measures Used for Surveillance How to design effective & efficient IPC surveillance program How to design tool for data collation & data processing How to select the KPIs & Bench mark Environmental surveillance & culture collection How to prepare surveillance report
