Oregon Project Firstline helps educators meet infection control training requirements.
As a health care educator, you know the importance of infection control training. Your students and learners are headed for the front line of the battle against germs and infectious disease. It’s up to you to ensure they’re prepared.
Oregon Project Firstline can help
The updates to Oregon Administrative Rules bring more consistency to the infection prevention practices training requirements that health profession students must meet before they can work in hospitals, long-term care centers and other clinical settings in Oregon. These changes are meant to ensure safety for patients, health care workers and students.
What is meant by infection prevention practices?
All elements of the Infection Control Basics section of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Standard Precautions for All Patient Care and Transmission-based Precautions pertaining to: hand hygiene; personal protective equipment (PPE); respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette; patient placement; cleaning and disinfection of patient care equipment, devices, and environment; safe handling of textiles and laundry; safe injection practices (if relevant to scope of practice); and transmission-based precautions.
