Whether you’re adding to your current program or starting fresh, these resources help ensure your staff has the knowledge to keep patients and residents safe.
You asked for more interactive training tools, so we developed these two activities to get your team up and moving! Print and hang the posters in the breakroom, at a nurses’ station or throughout the hallways then hand staff the quiz to start the hunt!
The Project Firstline Infection Control Micro-Learns are a series of guided infection control discussions that provide brief, on-the-job education. Healthcare workers can easily apply the key points to their daily work and perform the recommended actions to keep germs from spreading. The micro-learns can be incorporated into existing activities, such as pre-shift huddles or team meetings.
Visit CDC’s Project Firstline Micro Learns to download the micro-learns and accompanying infographics in the following languages: Bahasa Indonesia, Fijian, Hindi, Marshallese, Samoan, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Tagalog and Vietnamese. The Diarrhea Micro-Learn is also available in CHamoru and Chuukese.
Use CDC Project Firstline’s training toolkits to lead live, web-based training sessions with your team. Teach them how to recognize infection risks throughout their workday by identifying where germs live and how they spread.
