SUMMARY:On-demand: "Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You"
DESCRIPTION:Pfiedler Education* presents…On-demand: “Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You” \nEvery healthcare working who cares for patients\, or supports the staff who care for patients\, will most likely have to use personal protective equipment (PPE) at some point during their work duties. Whether a nurse\, a sterile processing technician\, an environmental services employee\, a radiation technologist\, or a staff member functioning in one of many other positions\, healthcare workers need to protect themselves from transmissible diseases\, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and from possible future threats to our health. \nStandard precautions should be practices with every patient but there are times that more focused precautions must be taken\, such as airborne and droplet precautions\, depending on how the infecting microorganism is spread. Handwashing and the use of protective attire are tools we must use against disease transmission. However\, if PPE is put on (donned) or taken off (doffed) incorrectly\, the PPE will not serve its purpose of protection and the wearer could become a victim of disease. \nBecause\, unfortunately\, transmissible diseases are not going away and there are forecasts of coming pandemics\, it is important to learn how to don and doff PPE and to do it correctly every single time. This will prove useful now and in the coming years ahead. This learning activity will illustrate the proper use of PPE along with helping the learning to understand the rationale behind each action. \nLearning Objectives  |  Upon completion of this course\, the learner will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescribe types of PPE\, differentiating between the protection levels of gowns\, masks\, and respirator options that are available.\nDiscuss Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions\, along with the three major modes of disease transmission and appropriate PPE for each.\nSummarize the proper use of PPE and the major points of donning and doffing to reduce cross-contamination and ensure maximum protection from disease transmission.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: This continuing education activity is intended for a nurse\, central services professional\, sterile processing technician\, surgical technologist\, or other healthcare professional who wants to learn more or needs to gain knowledge and skills in how to correctly don and doff PPE and therefore protect oneself from transmissible diseases. \nACCREDITATION INFORMATION\nCBSPD:1.0\nNCCT:1.0\nCA:1.0\nIAHCSM:1.0\nCalifornia Board of Registered Nursing Association of periOperative Registered Nurses is provider-approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing\, Provider Number CEP 13019 for 1.0 contact hour. \nThis content was created in June 2021 and expires in June 2023. \nPfiedler Education gratefully acknowledges educational grants provided by 3M | Aspen Surgical \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:"Innovations in Steam Sterilization: Leveraging Evidence & Technologies for Safe Load Release"
DESCRIPTION:3M Health Care Academy* presents…“Innovations in Steam Sterilization: Leveraging Evidence & Technologies for Safe Load Release” \nSaturated steam sterilization cycle controls and monitoring indicators are continually challenged to determine whether\ncurrent state delivers safe and effective sterilization cycles results. As technology evolved\, cycle control variables with cycle\nphases were implemented\, and cycle performance printouts became available for each cycle. This allowed for safer cycle\nperformance interpretation and provided an additional tool for end users to determine whether a cycle was within the\nspecifications. To determine how lethal a saturated steam sterilization cycle was\, microorganism spores were used\, and their\nuse continues today. An increased demand for fast and accurate sterilization cycle release adds to the rigorous process of\nadopting new controls and quality indicator monitors. \nLearning Objectives  |  After participating in this activity\, learners should be better able to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscuss about the different saturated steam sterilization applications\nUnderstand the requirements for cycle monitoring\nImplement adequate fast and reliable sterilized cycle release\n\nPresenter: \n \nPaulo Laranjeira\, Ph.D. | Full-time contractor with the U.S. FDA  |  Invited professor at post-graduate schools on equipment qualification and monitoring for the pharmaceutical and healthcare market \nCONTINUING EDUCATION  | 1.0 CE  |  3M is an approved provider by The California Board of Registered Nursing. Provider Number CEP 5770. Each Device Reprocessing 1-hour web meeting is approved by IAHCSMM\, CBSPD. These programs provide 1.0 CE contact hour. RN license number OR last four digits of Social Security Number is REQUIRED. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is no fee associated with this activity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor questions regarding this educational activity\, please call 1-800-228-3957 \n* NOTE: This is a supplier and/or industry resource-sponsored webinar.

SUMMARY:On-demand: "Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You"
DESCRIPTION:Pfiedler Education* presents…On-demand: “Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You” \nEvery healthcare working who cares for patients\, or supports the staff who care for patients\, will most likely have to use personal protective equipment (PPE) at some point during their work duties. Whether a nurse\, a sterile processing technician\, an environmental services employee\, a radiation technologist\, or a staff member functioning in one of many other positions\, healthcare workers need to protect themselves from transmissible diseases\, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and from possible future threats to our health. \nStandard precautions should be practices with every patient but there are times that more focused precautions must be taken\, such as airborne and droplet precautions\, depending on how the infecting microorganism is spread. Handwashing and the use of protective attire are tools we must use against disease transmission. However\, if PPE is put on (donned) or taken off (doffed) incorrectly\, the PPE will not serve its purpose of protection and the wearer could become a victim of disease. \nBecause\, unfortunately\, transmissible diseases are not going away and there are forecasts of coming pandemics\, it is important to learn how to don and doff PPE and to do it correctly every single time. This will prove useful now and in the coming years ahead. This learning activity will illustrate the proper use of PPE along with helping the learning to understand the rationale behind each action. \nLearning Objectives  |  Upon completion of this course\, the learner will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescribe types of PPE\, differentiating between the protection levels of gowns\, masks\, and respirator options that are available.\nDiscuss Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions\, along with the three major modes of disease transmission and appropriate PPE for each.\nSummarize the proper use of PPE and the major points of donning and doffing to reduce cross-contamination and ensure maximum protection from disease transmission.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: This continuing education activity is intended for a nurse\, central services professional\, sterile processing technician\, surgical technologist\, or other healthcare professional who wants to learn more or needs to gain knowledge and skills in how to correctly don and doff PPE and therefore protect oneself from transmissible diseases. \nACCREDITATION INFORMATION\nCBSPD:1.0\nNCCT:1.0\nCA:1.0\nIAHCSM:1.0\nCalifornia Board of Registered Nursing Association of periOperative Registered Nurses is provider-approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing\, Provider Number CEP 13019 for 1.0 contact hour. \nThis content was created in June 2021 and expires in June 2023. \nPfiedler Education gratefully acknowledges educational grants provided by 3M | Aspen Surgical \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:On-demand: "Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You"
DESCRIPTION:Pfiedler Education* presents…On-demand: “Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You” \nEvery healthcare working who cares for patients\, or supports the staff who care for patients\, will most likely have to use personal protective equipment (PPE) at some point during their work duties. Whether a nurse\, a sterile processing technician\, an environmental services employee\, a radiation technologist\, or a staff member functioning in one of many other positions\, healthcare workers need to protect themselves from transmissible diseases\, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and from possible future threats to our health. \nStandard precautions should be practices with every patient but there are times that more focused precautions must be taken\, such as airborne and droplet precautions\, depending on how the infecting microorganism is spread. Handwashing and the use of protective attire are tools we must use against disease transmission. However\, if PPE is put on (donned) or taken off (doffed) incorrectly\, the PPE will not serve its purpose of protection and the wearer could become a victim of disease. \nBecause\, unfortunately\, transmissible diseases are not going away and there are forecasts of coming pandemics\, it is important to learn how to don and doff PPE and to do it correctly every single time. This will prove useful now and in the coming years ahead. This learning activity will illustrate the proper use of PPE along with helping the learning to understand the rationale behind each action. \nLearning Objectives  |  Upon completion of this course\, the learner will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescribe types of PPE\, differentiating between the protection levels of gowns\, masks\, and respirator options that are available.\nDiscuss Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions\, along with the three major modes of disease transmission and appropriate PPE for each.\nSummarize the proper use of PPE and the major points of donning and doffing to reduce cross-contamination and ensure maximum protection from disease transmission.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: This continuing education activity is intended for a nurse\, central services professional\, sterile processing technician\, surgical technologist\, or other healthcare professional who wants to learn more or needs to gain knowledge and skills in how to correctly don and doff PPE and therefore protect oneself from transmissible diseases. \nACCREDITATION INFORMATION\nCBSPD:1.0\nNCCT:1.0\nCA:1.0\nIAHCSM:1.0\nCalifornia Board of Registered Nursing Association of periOperative Registered Nurses is provider-approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing\, Provider Number CEP 13019 for 1.0 contact hour. \nThis content was created in June 2021 and expires in June 2023. \nPfiedler Education gratefully acknowledges educational grants provided by 3M | Aspen Surgical \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:On-demand: "Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You"
DESCRIPTION:Pfiedler Education* presents…On-demand: “Personal Protective Equipment: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You” \nEvery healthcare working who cares for patients\, or supports the staff who care for patients\, will most likely have to use personal protective equipment (PPE) at some point during their work duties. Whether a nurse\, a sterile processing technician\, an environmental services employee\, a radiation technologist\, or a staff member functioning in one of many other positions\, healthcare workers need to protect themselves from transmissible diseases\, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and from possible future threats to our health. \nStandard precautions should be practices with every patient but there are times that more focused precautions must be taken\, such as airborne and droplet precautions\, depending on how the infecting microorganism is spread. Handwashing and the use of protective attire are tools we must use against disease transmission. However\, if PPE is put on (donned) or taken off (doffed) incorrectly\, the PPE will not serve its purpose of protection and the wearer could become a victim of disease. \nBecause\, unfortunately\, transmissible diseases are not going away and there are forecasts of coming pandemics\, it is important to learn how to don and doff PPE and to do it correctly every single time. This will prove useful now and in the coming years ahead. This learning activity will illustrate the proper use of PPE along with helping the learning to understand the rationale behind each action. \nLearning Objectives  |  Upon completion of this course\, the learner will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescribe types of PPE\, differentiating between the protection levels of gowns\, masks\, and respirator options that are available.\nDiscuss Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions\, along with the three major modes of disease transmission and appropriate PPE for each.\nSummarize the proper use of PPE and the major points of donning and doffing to reduce cross-contamination and ensure maximum protection from disease transmission.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience: This continuing education activity is intended for a nurse\, central services professional\, sterile processing technician\, surgical technologist\, or other healthcare professional who wants to learn more or needs to gain knowledge and skills in how to correctly don and doff PPE and therefore protect oneself from transmissible diseases. \nACCREDITATION INFORMATION\nCBSPD:1.0\nNCCT:1.0\nCA:1.0\nIAHCSM:1.0\nCalifornia Board of Registered Nursing Association of periOperative Registered Nurses is provider-approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing\, Provider Number CEP 13019 for 1.0 contact hour. \nThis content was created in June 2021 and expires in June 2023. \nPfiedler Education gratefully acknowledges educational grants provided by 3M | Aspen Surgical \nQuestions?
