Long-Term Care

The basic training is a comprehensive two-day course that is designed to provide Infection Preventionists (IPs) in long-term care facilities with the basic tools required to perform their job.

 

At the end of the course, participants will receive a Certificate of Training in Infection Prevention and Control; Nursing and NHAP continuing education credits are offered.

 

Completion of this course by a facility's IP complies with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) mandate for training for Infection Prevention and Control Officers.

​

While the course is directed at IPs, it has also been found helpful for Directors of Nursing, Administrators, Directors of Staff Development, and other leaders in long-term care facilities.

​

The advanced programs include a deeper dive into current topics relevant to today's Infection Preventionist. Several advanced programs are offered featuring various pertinent topics.

​

The advanced courses are recommended for Infection Preventionists, as well as all licensed nurses working in long-term care.  It is also helpful for Directors of Nursing, Administrators, Pharmacists, and Medical Staff Directors to attend.

​

The advanced programs are not intended to be considered in lieu of the basic training and will not satisfy the CMS mandate for training in Infection Prevention and Control Officers.
