Mentorship: Hand Hygiene and Asepsis Hand hygiene serves as one the best methods for reducing the spread of infection. Simulated experiences in this presentation illustrate how our hands can spread pathogens and how hand hygiene reduces pathogen transmission. Elements of aseptic technique are reviewed and contrasted against clean technique. What resources are included with mentorship? Hand Hygiene and Asepsis Educational Packet This comprehensive packet gives an in depth background on hand hygiene and asepsis, simulations, and debriefing discussions. This packet will guide you through a train-the-trainer approach for you to gain the knowledge necessary to train your staff on the importance of best practice on hand hygiene and asepsis. Hand Hygiene and Antisepsis Presentation This presentation guides you through the hand hygiene module from background information to simulation, as well…

Mentorship: Cleaning and Disinfecting Medical Devices Cleaning and disinfecting medical devices that are not disposable is part of everyday care. Learn how reusable medical equipment impacts pathogen transmission, and review the types of disinfectants used to prevent this transmission. The Spaulding Classification is used as a guide in this session as we apply knowledge into practice minimizing the risk of pathogen transfer. What resources are included in mentorship?
