This presentation highlights how infection prevention and wound care teams partnered through the Clinical Excellence team to improve safety, consistency, and outcomes in home care. Sparked by survey-identified gaps, the teams created standardized procedures and product use, leading to fewer infections, better compliance, and cost savings. The work continues through regular reviews, new hire education, and ongoing quality improvement.
Learning Objectives
1. Explain how collaborative structures like the Clinical Excellence team foster interdisciplinary alignment between infection prevention and wound care to improve safety, compliance, and patient outcomes.
2. Describe how insights from surveys and audits led to the development of standardized procedures and product formularies, resulting in improved compliance and cost savings.
3. Identify strategies for sustaining collaboration and continuous improvement, including the use of PDSA cycles and integration of infection prevention and wound care into new hire education.

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.
