This comprehensive series covers various topics, starting from the fundamental principles of aseptic technique and peripheral catheters, all the way to sterile procedures and central catheter care. Each course is designed to integrate up-to-date evidence and provide practical tips and resource materials, empowering clinicians to prioritize patient safety when working with vascular access devices.

Courses included in Bundle

Blooodstream Infections: Identificaiton and Improving Safety

This program focuses on the definition and understanding of CABSI (Catheter-Associated Bloodstream Infection), CLABSI (Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection), and CRBSI (Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection). We delve into the risks associated with infections, exploring the pathways through which bloodstream infections can occur. Additionally, we provide statistical information on both peripheral and central line infections.

Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections
The Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) program is designed to deliver crucial education on preventing bloodstream infections that arise from the use of central venous catheters. These infections rank as the third most prevalent healthcare-acquired infections in the United States and pose the greatest risk among healthcare complications. However, it is important to note that they are entirely preventable.
Central Line Bundle Program
The Central Line Bundle serves as a set of guidelines and practices that healthcare providers can implement to improve the safety and care of patients with intravascular catheters. By following these evidence-based recommendations, healthcare facilities can minimize the risk of complications and infections related to central lines. The IHI’s adoption of the CDC’s recommendations underscores their commitment to promoting standardized, effective measures for patient safety in healthcare settings.
Disinfection Practices for Intravenous Therapy
The program emphasizes the importance of knowing when and why to disinfect, providing participants with clear guidelines. It also focuses on teaching effective disinfection techniques and aseptic practices that reduce risks and promote safety. By incorporating these practices into their daily routines, clinicians can contribute to reducing the transmission of infections and create a safer environment for patients.
Infection Control Standards and Guidelines
This program identifies organizations who have published standards, guidelines and recommendations to control vascular access infection. It also discusses standards and guideline implementation through the creation of facility policies and procedures. This program reviews the importance of education and the role of competency assessment and adherence to policies and procedures to ensure patient safety.
Infection Prevention of CVADs
By providing participants with up-to-date information and best practices, this program equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to make a positive impact on infection rates. The emphasis on evidence-based practices ensures that the strategies and interventions discussed are grounded in scientific research and have demonstrated success in infection prevention. Ultimately, the program aims to empower participants to implement these practices and contribute to creating safer environments for patients in all healthcare settings.
Infection Prevention Strategies
The course provides a comprehensive overview of key concepts, including the central line bundle, maintenance bundle, assessment tools, antimicrobial devices, and good aseptic practices. By exploring these topics, participants gain a solid understanding of evidence-based approaches to prevent infections associated with vascular access devices.
Principles of Infection Control and Prevention
This program is designed to educate clinicians about the signs and symptoms of infection, enabling them to recognize and respond to potential infections promptly. It provides a clear definition of infection and covers the classification of primary bloodstream infections, as well as catheter-related infections.
ANTT: Key Concepts
Understanding the appropriate application of Standard ANTT and Sterile ANTT is crucial in preventing the transmission of infections during invasive procedures. By following the guidelines and implementing the recommended practices, healthcare professionals can ensure the highest level of aseptic technique, protect key parts and sites, and create a safe environment for patients.
How to Create a Sterile Field
This program provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a sterile field during the preparation phase of a vascular access procedure. By following these guidelines, healthcare professionals can establish an environment that minimizes the risk of microbial contamination and maximizes patient safety.
Essentials of Infection Prevention Complete Course Set
Each course within this pathway is carefully curated to incorporate the latest evidence-based practices. Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, practical tips, and access to resource materials that are essential for promoting patient safety when working with vascular access devices. By completing these courses, clinicians are empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to prioritize and deliver the highest standard of care to their patients.
