During the week emails were sent out with educational information about the a few topics such as healthcare worker sharps safety, chain of infection, healthcare equity in infection control, and standard precautions.
To end the Infection Prevention week each department were challenged to create a “bug” to display. Their bug should identify what disease/condition it causes, how it spreads, how to prevent transmission, and what it looks like.
The Triad and the command staff were all invited to vote on each of these bugs with 3 category options for winners. Occupational Health department won Best Educational board, Medical Homeport won the People's Choice board, and the Main Operating Room won Leaderships Choice.
