Critical Training Addresses Serious Issues of Infections During Healthcare Construction


Education and training play a key role in limiting the problems with health care construction projects. The Linders Health Institute is conducting an important and crucial two day boot camp, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF INFECTION CONTROL IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF CARE FOR HEALTHCARE CONTRACTORS, to help professionals involved in healthcare facility and renovation construction projects know infection control risk assessment (ICRA) and understand the special precautions needed to keep patients safe.

Reduction of risk from infection is urgent in the fight for patient safety, client retention, and reduction of legal risks. Unfortunately every construction, renovation or repair project is unique with its own challenges and variables that could challenge infection control protocols. Healthcare settings are complicated with vulnerable patient populations. Infection control is mandatory and a priority.

Infection control is an issue as 5,000 – 7,000 patients die each year from healthcare construction related cross contamination including dust, debris, and potentially hazardous fungal spores that are stirred by construction projects. This important course will help builders or anyone else involved in healthcare construction understand infection control issues as they relate to healthcare facilities as well as understand compliance requirements for Joint Commission and DNV during construction.

Register today for this important and crucial two day boot camp, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF INFECTION CONTROL IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF CARE FOR HEALTHCARE CONTRACTORS. The boot camp will be held on July 27 and 28, from 9-5 both days, in Orlando Florida.
