Development and implementation of learning collaboratives for infection prevention and control education in long-term care facilities.
Infections in long-term care facilities pose a critical challenge, with 1 to 3 million serious infections annually and up to 380,000 associated deaths. The vulnerability of aging populations and inadequate infection prevention and control programs underscore the need for intervention. This initiative provided tailored continuing education through 8 virtual learning collaboratives serving 541 infection preventionists. The project also developed 9 infection prevention and control toolkits and a manual to further support long-term care facilities' infection prevention efforts.
