ANA is partnering with the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) to bring you this up-to-date program that covers:

• Current epidemiology of COVID-19 including modes of transmission
• How to implement critical infection control standards to minimize spread and maintain healthcare worker protection
• Best practice recommendations for optimal protection while maximizing a limited supply of PPE during time of patient surge
• Review of the ANA COVID-19 website that provides critical information and links to keep you up to date, participate in legislative advocacy and share your personal story with ANA

“Nurses and healthcare workers face ongoing challenges with understanding current guidelines on the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during times of supply chain shortage, patient surge, and evolving evidence on novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To protect the workforce and continue care of COVID-19 patients without disruption, healthcare workers need protection from COVID-19,” stated ANA.
