CDC Released New Resources on Enhanced Barrier Precautions

AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo; Programs and Resources
 

CDC has released new resources to assist nursing home staff with understanding the benefits of and implementing Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs).   
 
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are a known threat to nursing home residents; these germs can cause serious infections that are often hard to treat. EBPs are infection prevention and control practices that can help reduce the spread of MDROs in nursing homes and protect residents. EBP practices help address the silent spread of MDROs in nursing homes. This new suite of resources will help staff, residents, and loved ones learn more about why EBPs are important and when these practices should be used.

In addition, AHCA/NCAL will be hosting a session on EBP at Delivering Solutions 23, AHCA/NCAL's Convention & Expo October 1-4, in Denver, CO. The session will feature a panel of nursing home leaders who have been successful at implementing EBPs in their facilities and share best practices and implementation tips. Additional session information and details on registration can be found on the Delivering Solutions 23 website. ​
