Abstract
Education is an important component of a successful infection prevention program. Although most infection preventionists recognize the need for education, there is limited time to devote to this endeavor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an educational program to help educate frontline healthcare workers about infection prevention principles. It can be a useful resource to meet the educational needs in a healthcare organization or facility; however, there are some barriers to using the program as written.
