Phlebotomy Continuing Education Exercise (ATM): Are You a Pathogen Parade?
Are your staff’s scrubs clean? Probably not. Pathogens on the clothing of healthcare workers spreads from patient to patient, and then goes home with them to their families. Is this why communities are dealing with an epidemic of hospital acquired infections and resistant bacteria? Use this ATM™ to educate your staff on the perils of contaminated scrubs and measures they can take to reduce the spread of pathogenic bacteria around the hospital and around their community.
Quiz and answer key included. (Immediate download.)

With pathogenic bacteria becoming resistant to currently available antibiotics, the importance of tightening up our infection control protocols is evident. We know about cleansing our hands between patients, but that is not the only way disease is spread. Healthcare workers with pathogens hitchhiking on their scrubs are putting their patients, themselves, and their families at risk. This article takes a fresh look at what has become a new norm in healthcare: wearing our contaminated clothing and shoes into the community at the end of our shifts.
