SUMMARY:Explore HealthCare Environment Reservoirs and How to Manage the Spread of Germs
DESCRIPTION:National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH) as a partner within the CDC’s National Training Collaborative Project Firstline launches an open Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes). Using the Project ECHO model of “all teach\, all learn”\, developed by Sanjeev Arora\, M.D.\, at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center\, NCUIH takes a system-based approach in this collaborative model to help UIOs with the most current up to date strategies around Infection Control through Project Firstline. UIO staff will have the opportunity through this ECHO program to engage with CDC subject matter expert(s) on infection risk recognition\, Body Reservoirs and Germ Spread and how this all ties into Infection Control in various healthcare settings. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to work through two peer reviewed articles and apply key learning concepts via case discussions: \n\nInteraction of healthcare worker hands and portable medical equipment: a sequence analysis to show potential transmission opportunities \nWhat Healthcare Workers Should Know about Environmental Bacterial Contamination in the Intensive Care Unit\n\nEvent Goal:\nTo provide training on HealthCare Environment Reservoirs\, spread of germs and its role in Infection Control and to provide additional training resources to urban Indian organizations (UIOs). \nEvent Presenters: \n\nDr. Abigail Carlson Medical Officer\, CDC Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion\nDr. Abigail Carlson is an infection control advisor and subject matter expert for Project Firstline\, CDC’s new training collaboration for healthcare infection control. She is with the CDC ‘s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion. \n\nKyle Mitchell Diné (Navajo)\, Facilitator\nMr. Mitchell is a Storyteller\, Educator\, and Veteran; he believes that sharing the power of oral traditions can reinforce a sense of self-identity for individuals and breakdown stereotypes towards Indigenous communities. \n\nMarie Zephier\, MPH (Oglala Sioux Tribe)\nMarie is a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation and was born and raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Marie serves as a consultant with the National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH).
