Attn: Wisconsin Nursing Home Infection Preventionists
Deadline Extended to complete the WI Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) in Long Term Care (LTC) Coalition 2018 LTC Baseline Prevention Practices Assessment Online Survey
The WI HAIs in LTC Coalition is pleased to announce the availability of the 2018 LTC Baseline Prevention Practices Assessment Survey. The Coalition developed this survey based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) LTC Baseline Prevention Practices Tool to evaluate the status of infection prevention and control efforts in WI nursing homes.
While completion of this survey is voluntary, the Wisconsin HAIs in LTC Coalition is requesting that each nursing home’s infection preventionist complete and submit only one survey for the facility no later than December 30, 2018.
Survey results are anonymous and will be used to measure practice changes from surveys conducted in 2012 and 2015 and to assist the Coalition in planning future educational programs on infection prevention and control. The aggregate results of the survey will be shared with Wisconsin nursing homes. The survey takes 15-20 minutes to complete. The link to this survey was sent in an email on 11/16/2018 to each facility using the email address on file with DQA. If your facility did not receive this email or you have questions, please contact Victoria Griffin.
