In this episode, we dive into the latest infection control updates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), focusing on the newly expanded Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for skilled care facilities. These precautions are designed to reduce the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs).
We will explore:
- What EBP entails and how it differs from traditional contact precautions
- Which residents are affected and why they’re considered high-risk
- Implementation strategies, including PPE use during high-contact care activities like dressing, bathing, and wound care
- Practical challenges and benefits for facilities, staff, and residents
Whether you're a nurse, administrator, or infection preventionist, this episode offers essential insights into how long-term care is evolving to meet the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.
