As a DON you may or may not be responsible for actually performing the role of the DON. However, as the DON you will be responsible for knowing what to expect from the infection Preventionist (IP) and the process of Infection Prevention within your facility. As we learn more about Antibiotic resistance it becomes more imperative that our facilities have implemented serious Antibiotic Stewardship (AS) plans and processes. Join us for this presentation and explore Infection Prevention (IP) from the DON's perspective. Journey with us through the Survey tags that must be met as well as how to hire an IP. Take the resources provided and when back home check out your IP and AS program to determine if you have all that you need!
