Yale School of Nursing develops novel infection prevention tool for long-term healthcare facilities

Yale School of Nursing has recently developed a novel infection prevention resource for long-term care facilities.

The resource, known as the “Infection Prevention Compendium For Long-Term Care Facilities,” contains a collection of links to important healthcare information for workers and providers at long-term care facilities. The compendium is divided into four main parts: infection prevention tools & resources for direct care providers, administrators and support staff; international and U.S. infection control resources; a summary of New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) reports and teaching tools.
