Fireside Chat: APIC & TRSA: Key Learnings from the National Academies of Sciences Workshop and Other Sources on Reusable PPE & What it Means for Infection Prevention

CE/IPU: 0

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 @ 1 pm ET

Speakers: APIC CEO, Dr. Devin Jopp and TRSA President & CEO, Joseph Ricci 

The National Academies recently convened a workshop – sponsored by the CDC’s National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory – to examine the benefits of reusable personal protective equipment (PPE) and ways to expand its use in healthcare. Convening technical experts, manufacturers, healthcare providers, industrial laundry operators and other experts, the workshop validated the benefits of hygienically clean reusable PPE, including lower costs, high quality and safety, and greater supply resiliency and environmental sustainability. Joseph Ricci, president and CEO of TRSA, will join APIC CEO Devin Jopp for a fireside chat on the National Academies’ findings and implications for infection preventionists. The conversation will explore the hygienically clean process, how laundry professionals provide proper infection prevention in their facilities, and what steps policymakers may take on reusable PPE.
