Session Spotlight: Getting Ahead of Infectious Threats — Infection Prevention’s Changing Role
As soon as hospitals suppress an infectious threat, another more powerful one often emerges. Staying ahead of the threat requires new strategies that expand the role of infection prevention (IP) within and beyond the hospital’s walls. In this session, four prominent infection preventionists will share their collective knowledge and approaches to antimicrobial stewardship, controlling emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, and leveraging IP processes to improve outcomes across the patient care continuum.
Nationally known infection prevention experts leading the panel include Arjun Srinivasan, MD, associate director, Healthcare-Associated Infection Prevention Programs, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Loren Miller, MD, MPH, faculty member, Division of Adult Infectious Diseases, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, and director, Infection Control Program, Harbor-UCLA; Rekha Murthy, MD, FRCP(C), FACP, FIDSA, FSHEA, vice president for medical affairs, acting chief medical officer, and professor of medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; and Philip Robinson, MD, FIDSA, medical director, Infection Prevention and Hospital Epidemiology, Hoag Orthopedic Institute.
