Two of your biggest fears…

It’s no secret that as we age our bodies become more fragile and the ability to heal is prolonged. That’s why falls and infections cause great concerns. One event can have significant effects that lead to rapidly declined health, extended hospital stays, and extreme financial and emotional implications for patients and their families.

But that’s not all… assumptions tied to high reports of infections and falls can be detrimental to a care facility — economically and psychologically.

In this self–paced online course, sought–after presenter Jennifer Cellar, MSN, APRN, CPN, and award winning expert William Inman, BA-BS, CIC, will guide you step-by-step through evidence-based interventions and prevention strategies you can implement into your practice TODAY!

Walk away with realistic, efficient, and effective algorithms to address falls, understand when to use an influenza vaccine, overuse of antibiotics and its implications, and practical solutions to a variety of “what if” infectious disease scenarios.
