Free Infection Control Training Tool

HHS has released a major new training tool addressing important infection prevention and control practices. To reach the site, go to http://www.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/training/. The link "Partnering to Heal" will immediately begin the video training tool. Partnering to Heal is a computer-based, video-simulation training program on infection control practices for clinicians, health professional students, and patient advocates. The training highlights effective communication about infection control practices and ideas for creating a "culture of safety" in healthcare institutions to keep patients from getting sicker. Users assume the identity of five main characters and make decisions about preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
