"Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) -- A Growing Threat in Long-Term Care and Beyond"
On Demand Webinar
MDROs are microorganisms that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents. These dangerous organisms present a global threat to vulnerable patients such as those treated for ailments in long-term care and other healthcare facilities. Options for treating patients afflicted by MDROs are often limited, while the prevalence of those who come into contact with them is increasing. Patients affected by MDROs may experience extended facility stays as well as increased mortality rates. These impacts contribute to increased costs for both the patients and providers. Precautions such as proper cleaning and disinfecting, hand hygiene, and surveillance are some of the measures needed to help reduce the spread of MDROs.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on these topics and learn options for managing the threats that these organisms present.
Learning objectives:
- Understanding the impact of MDROS from a global perspective
- Insight about an antimicrobial stewardship approach to decrease the spread of infections caused by superbugs
- Update on managing organisms through infection prevention measures
- The importance and rationale of cleaning and disinfecting properly
