New Evidence of Nasal Decolonization Efficacy for Patient Safety

Program Date/Time: Wednesday, April 23 at 1 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. CT

Universal nasal decolonization programs are expanding nationwide. This presentation will share the evidence behind universal nasal decolonization and explain why this practice is growing.

A well-designed universal nasal decolonization program can deliver improved patient outcomes, enhanced throughput and improved financial performance.

Join to learn how the practice of universal nasal decolonization is reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and operational costs.

Join to learn how the simple, yet powerful concept of nasal decolonization is reducing healthcare-associated infections and operational costs.

Learning objectives:

• Explain the role of the nasal vestibule in healthcare-associated infection risk.
• Discuss the evolution of nasal decolonization.
• Review the results of 3 new meta-analyses on the efficacy of several nasal decolonization agents.
• Show examples of how reducing HAIs via a nasal decolonization program can reduce operational costs.
