Learn how to optimize data and data analysis in your facility, from creating a comprehensive data management approach to communicating results to stakeholders.
The use of data, especially in support of NHSN, is essential to the role of the infection preventionist (IP). The collection, analysis, reporting and application of data require specialized skills for which many IPs have received little or no training. In addition, many IPs struggle to convert data into meaningful information necessary to optimally support their facilities’ improvement efforts.
You’ll learn how to make use of the data you gather, whether integrating NHSN into a comprehensive data management approach, using data to assess and monitor the implementation of evidence-based practices, analyzing and evaluating outcomes of care or communicating information to various stakeholders.
