How to use the TAP Strategy to prevent HAIs

Noon - 1 p.m.

This event is open to HANYS members and non-members.

This webinar will introduce the CDC's Targeted Assessment for Prevention Strategy, a quality improvement framework that uses data for action to prevent healthcare-associated infections. The TAP Strategy and accompanying suite of tools are available to help guide hospitals in the prevention of Clostridioides difficile, central line-associated bloodstream and catheter-associated urinary tract infections.   

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• describe key concepts, tools and processes for implementing the TAP Strategy;
• demonstrate how to generate, customize and interpret National Healthcare Safety Network TAP Reports to target areas with the highest burden of excess infections;
• understand TAP Facility Assessments and describe how they can be used to identify potential infection prevention gaps within a facility; and
• illustrate how to use the TAP implementation guides to link assessment results with actionable tools and resources to address gaps and prevent infections.
