Title: Introducing the Healthcare Surfaces Institute

Cost: Free to ALL Pass Types

Description:

The Healthcare Surfaces Institute (HSI) is now part of ISSA, enhancing our ability to address critical surface issues that impact cleaning and disinfection in healthcare settings. This integration allows us to leverage existing resources and expertise to support infection prevention efforts effectively. Linda Lybert, the institute's founder and executive director, will provide a high-level overview of the critical surface issues that impact effective cleaning and disinfection and the institute's current work.

Key Objectives:

  • Understand why infection prevention begins at design and why collaboration is critical.
  • Understand the basics of microbiology and how surfaces may support microbial attachment and biofilm formation
  • Be empowered to evaluate surface materials, products and instructions for use (IFUs)
  • Learn about resources currently available to you through ISSA and HSI
  • Learn how you can become actively engaged in the growth of ISSA’s healthcare initiatives
