AHA, Project Firstline release infection prevention training

The American Hospital Association (AHA) Team Training, in partnership with the Project Firstline collaborative, released free on-demand training to help hospitals and health systems integrate teamwork and communication principles into their normal workflows to better prevent and control infection. “Continual education on infection prevention must be part of a hospital’s or health system’s normal workflow and not compromised because of time pressures,” said Marie Cleary-Fishman, AHA vice president, clinical quality. “This new video toolkit makes communications training quick and easy.” Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention partnered with the AHA’s Center for Health Innovation and other national health care organizations to launch the Project Firstline national training collaborative.
