INDUSTRY OVERVIEW LINK TO PROGRAM:

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) are a common adverse outcome in hospitals that increase the morbidity and
mortality of patients. Reasons cited in the research literature claim a lack of frequent hand hygiene, improper skin
antisepsis, low level of environmental cleanliness, breaks in sterile technique, overuse of antibiotic therapy and
increase use of invasive devices and diagnostic procedures. The Infection Prevention and Control specialist is an
important position in healthcare settings.

The components of an effective infection prevention and control program are essential to a quality program that will
reduce these adverse outcomes. Surveillance, prevention and control requires diligent clinical observations and
routine collection of pertinent data to evaluate the success of implemented measures.

WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT?

This two day workshop is designed to address many of the challenges facing infection prevention specialists and
hospital staff. It will outline the key components to an effective program, using examples from the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) on their requirements for programs in the US.

DAY 1
This day provides an overview of healthcare acquired infections
(HAI) and surveillance systems to identify them in hospitals. The key
concepts in setting up HAI surveillance using standardized case
definitions from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will be
presented. A general overview of common microorganisms that
cause HAIs and diagnostic testing to identify them will be
presented. The development of the components in an Infection
Prevention and Control Plan will be outlined and an example of a
completed plan illustrated.
SESSION 1:
PRINCIPLES OF EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HEALTHCARE ACQUIRED
INFECTIONS (HAIS)
An overview of basic principles of epidemiology, analytic studies,
statistics and research methodology will be presented using examples
to illustrate data collection and analysis
• Association and causation
• Definitions and examples of Incidence, prevalence, epidemic,
endemic
• Immunizations, herd immunity, risk factors
• The Chain of Infection
• Analytic studies: cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, experimental,
randomized
• Statistics: rates, risk ratio, parametric tests, significant, descriptive
data presentation
• Standardized infection ratio (SIR)
SESSION 2:
DEFINITIONS FOR SURVEILLANCE – NHSN CRITERIA AND
ALGORITHMS, CASE TRACKING, LINE LISTING, ANALYSIS
This session defines the standard definitions used by the CDC for the
collection of healthcare acquired infections.
• National Health Safety Network (NHSN)
• Centers for Disease Control (CDC) case definitions for healthcare
acquired infections (HAIs)
• Definitions of HAIs: Central Line Associated Bloodstream
infections (CLABSI), Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection
(CAUTI), Surgical Site Infection (SSI), Ventilator Associated
Pneumonia (VAP), Hospital Onset Clostridium Difficile Infection
(HO-CDI), Hospital onset MRSA (HO-MRSA), Other HAIs and
