September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages its partners, patients, and healthcare professionals to share how sepsis can be prevented. Get Ahead of Sepsis is a national educational effort that emphasizes the importance of early recognition, timely treatment, reassessment of antibiotic needs, and prevention of infections.
This video series was developed from interviews with BLOC COVID funded sites to highlight the LHD’s lessons learned, best practices, tools developed, and provide associated resources to prevent and respond to COVID-19 in various high-risk settings for others to consider in their capacity building efforts.
NACCHO recognizes Prince George’s County Health Department, Fostering Local Infection Prevention Control & Capacity (FLIP-CC) Project Team as its latest Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Champion.
This year's theme for World Hand Hygiene Day on May 5 is focused on recognizing that we can add to a facility's climate or culture of safety and quality through cleaning our hands but also that a strong quality and safety culture will encourage people to clean hands at the right times and with the right products.
The widespread global news of avian influenza in birds has more than likely raised a few hackle feathers from the general public. NACCHO asked influenza subject matter experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), how local health departments can prepare for the possibility of human infections with these viruses and how to respond to public questions regarding H5N1.
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology Association (SHEA), and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) are pleased to announce the awardees of the 2022 Leadership in Epidemiology, Antimicrobial Stewardship, and Public Health (LEAP) Fellowship.
Please join the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and CDC for a webinar to discuss recent detections and outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses in U.S. commercial poultry and backyard flocks on Thursday, March 17 at 3:00 pm EDT.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is soliciting comments from the public on antimicrobial drug use practices in companion animals and the potential impacts of such uses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and animals.
