TUESDAY<br />
Infection control should be second nature by now, but it isn’t. The <strong>Illinois</strong> Department of Public <strong>Health</strong> (IDPH)<br />
is taking a new look at infection control, and is finding widespread deficiencies. Even a comprehensive policy with<br />
consistent training may not ensure compliance with best practices. Policies that aren’t followed just won’t work. This<br />
session will identify good infection control practices, and will offer suggestions to ensure compliance at every level of<br />
your organization.<br />
