 Description:

This one and half hour presentation will cover the CMS & ASC Surveyor's Infection Control Worksheet (ICWS). This survey sheet encompasses everything that an Infection Preventionist would need to oversee and manage regarding an infection prevention program within the ambulatory surgery center setting. CMS has mandated elements of an IP program to include a written IC plan, have oversight by a qualified professional, following recognized national guidelines, consisting of a IC surveillance system and evidence of ongoing training of the staff & providers. All of these issues will be discussed within this presentation.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the elements of infection prevention and control in the ambulatory settings surveyed by CMS.
• Identify common problems, gaps and practice deficiencies related to infection prevention detected via the ICWS.

Handouts to be included:

• Notetaking version of the PowerPoint presentation
• CMS Infection Control Surveyor's Worksheet
