Ensuring that healthcare textiles meet strict infection control standards is critical for maintaining a safe and healthy healthcare environment. This webinar will provide infection preventionists and other healthcare professionals a guide for conducting effective site visits and inspections of facilities maintained by professional laundry service providers.
The webinar will cover a “checklist” of key items that should be a part of any successful site visit, including key steps and compliance standards required throughout the hygienically clean laundry process.
This Zoom online event is the first of a three-part Healthcare Linen & Textiles webinar series. This free webinar series is open to the public. By registering for one webinar, you will be registered for all three. Get details on each event below:
May 1 – Mastering Laundry Inspections: A Best Practices Checklist for Infection Preventionists
June 3 – The Risks of Home Laundering Facility-Provided Scrubs
Home laundering may not reliably kill all pathogens found on scrubs and other healthcare attire, which places employees, families and communities at greater risk of infection and other hazards. This webinar will provide frontline workers, facility administrators and infection preventionists information on why professional laundry facilities are best equipped to provide hygienically clean scrubs, address common misperceptions about home laundering and share best practices to ensure patients and workers are safe.
July 10 – Linen Handling Best Practices for Infection Control
Proper handling of healthcare linens is essential for preventing the spread of infections in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. This webinar will provide healthcare workers with a detailed overview of best practices for handling both clean and soiled linen, from storage and transport to collection and distribution.
Register & Invite Healthcare Professionals: Sign up and share this opportunity with your colleagues, customers and prospects—especially healthcare contacts. It’s a valuable resource for understanding the hygienically clean laundry process and what to look for during site visits.
