While infection prevention in long-term care facilities
remains a top priority for many institutions, navigating the different
guidelines and protocols can be overwhelming for staff. CDC is trying to solve this problem with the
creation of the Long-Term Care Portal. The
portal organizes existing infection prevention information and resources for clinical
staff and residents in the form of guidelines, presentations, handouts, and web
links. The tools cover many different
types of infections, including C. difficile, influenza, MRSA, UTI’s and
Norovirus. The portal also acts as a
link for administrators to track and report outbreaks and prevention process
measures such as hand hygiene and glove adherence.
To access the portal and its many different
resources, please visit http://1.usa.gov/1mtgmhr
