Infection Prevention partnered with Correctional Health to enhance patient care quality through process improvement and standardization within the medical units. This collaboration focused on aligning practices with hospital standards, addressing areas such as supply standardization, sterile instrument transport, risk assessments, and policy development. Monthly rounding sessions were conducted by Infection Prevention alongside Correctional Health leadership to assess the implementation and maintenance of improvements from previous rounds. These sessions facilitated the identification of ongoing challenges and the development of targeted action plans. The introduction of an electronic rounding tool streamlined the process, ensuring accountability and tracking of identified issues. As a result of these concerted efforts, there has been a notable increase in compliance with infection prevention protocols, demonstrating the effectiveness of collaborative initiatives in enhancing care standards.
Learning objectives-
1. Identify key Infection Prevention practices.
2. Evaluate the challenges and strategies involved in aligning infection prevention standards between correctional health facilities and hospital networks, considering unique environmental and operational factors.
3. Demonstrate the impact of collaborative rounding and interdisciplinary education.
