Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are a growing threat in healthcare environments, particularly in long term care. Many residents may unknowingly carry these organisms, increasing the risk of silent transmission during everyday care.
This short, scenario-based microlearning course introduces Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs)—a CDC-recommended infection control strategy designed to reduce the spread of MDROs without isolating residents or limiting their quality of life. Learn when and how to apply EBPs, including PPE use during high-contact activities, how to identify at-risk patients, and the role of communication and facility-wide protocols in prevention.
Estimated Runtime: 17 minutes
