Register for CMM’s October 20 Hand and Surface Hygiene Webinar

Registration is now open for CMM’s free educational webinar, Navigating the Intersection of Hand/Surface/Environmental Hygiene, at 11 a.m. on October 20. 

Continued vigilance in cleaning and infection control protocols remains important, and that vigilance starts with hand hygiene. However, there is more to consider in implementing hand hygiene best practices than you may realize. Learn how the connection between clean hands, clean surfaces, and a clean environment can save lives.

Join J. Darrel Hicks, MESRE, CHESP, past president of the Healthcare Surfaces Institute and a nationally known infection prevention expert, and Mike Canales, program director for the Healthcare Facilities Leadership degree program at Owensboro Community and Technical College in Kentucky, for this one-hour presentation. Attendees will ask the speakers questions in a live Q&A session at the end of the program.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• The elements of good hand hygiene—how, when, why
• A rundown of terminology you should and shouldn’t be using with your facility staff, e.g., “clean” versus “hygienically clean.”
