Bridging the Gap: Effective MDRO Prevention Education for Post-Discharge Care

February 27, 2025

Description 

This program aims to educate the healthcare personnel who provide patient or staff education on principles, needs assessment, and methods for effective education to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) beyond the healthcare facility. Upon patient discharge from a healthcare facility, instructions on methods to prevent MDRO spread have been inconsistent or lacking. These instructions are designed to educate patient caregivers on prevention of MDRO spread in their home setting while continuing normal daily functions, and to educate healthcare providers caring for patients with MDRO in a healthcare facility or Home Health care. 

Target Audience

 
  • Bedside and frontline HCP
  • Home health agencies in home settings

Learning Objectives

 
After participating in this activity, learners will be able to:
 
  1. Describe the role of health literacy among the general population in preventing the spread of infections, and describe ways to overcome barriers and enhance enablers.
  2. Explain the principles of the train-the-trainer model and assessment methods to deliver an effective and customized education to address the patient needs.
  3. Apply the learned principles and techniques to educate healthcare providers and patient caregivers on methods to prevent the spread of MDRO upon patient transfer to another healthcare facility or discharge to a home setting.
