Infection Prevention and Control Practices: Addressing Respiratory Hygiene and Cough Etiquette

Bandwidth among health care workers is low, and applying bite-sized content during trainings can help improve staff engagement and knowledge retention. This final presentation in the “Incorporating Infection Control Micro-Learn Training Resources” series will provide an overview of the CDC Project Firstline’s Cough and Congestion Micro-Learn and help Urban Indian Organization (UIO) staff learn how they can incorporate these approachable trainings at their facility. One continuing nursing education (CNE) credit is available.*
