This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AAMI recommended practice, Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities, is a breakthrough standard in terms of its scope. AAMI has updated ST79 with the release of ST79:2010/A4:2013. Of particular importance, A4:2013 provides four new figures demonstrating the wrapping of items for steam sterilization and adds an annex focused on Moisture assessment. As of Oct. 25, 2013, purchasers of ST79 will receive ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010 and A1:2010 and A2:2011 and A3:2012 and A4:2014 as a single consolidated document. Among other changes from the 2006 edition of ST79, this revised and expanded second edition of ST79 includes guidance on the use and application of Class 6 emulating indicators, a chemical monitoring device fairly new to the United States. Because ST79 essentially consolidates five AAMI steam sterilization standards (whose content was reviewed and updated to reflect current good practice prior to being incorporated into ST79), it truly is a comprehensive guideline for all steam sterilization activities in healthcare facilities, regardless of the size of the sterilizer or the size of the facility, and provides a resource for all healthcare personnel who use steam for sterilization.

Book excerpt: A NEW AND ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR THE PRACTICE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PUBLIC HEALTH The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual is a definitive guide to investigating acute public health events on the ground and in real time. Assembled and written by experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as other leading public health agencies, it offers current and field-tested guidance for every stage of an outbreak investigation -- from identification to intervention and other core considerations along the way.

Additional coverage includes: � Updated guidance for new tools in field investigations, including the latest technologies for data collection and incorporating data from geographic information systems (GIS) � Tips for investigations in unique settings, including healthcare and community-congregate sites � Advice for responding to different types of outbreaks, including acute enteric disease; suspected biologic or toxic agents; and outbreaks of violence, suicide, and other forms of injury For the ever-changing public health landscape, The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual offers a new, authoritative resource for effective outbreak response to acute and emerging threats. *** Oxford University Press will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to the CDC Foundation, an independent nonprofit and the sole entity created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's critical health protection work.

Goestenkors, CPMSM Not sure how to collect, organize, and present your FPPE data? Just open your toolbox By now you know the importance of focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE). Due to revisions to Joint Commission standards in both 2007 and 2008, hospitals must establish and track practitioner competency using measurable performance data. What is the bottom line for your MSO? The bottom line is, to be compliant with the regulatory changes, your MSO must adopt a standard framework defining the dimensions of privileged practitioners performance, applying The Joint Commission s requirements for competency. In addition, failing to gather and organize FPPE data in a standardized way presents risks including failing to gather sufficient data, redundancy, inconsistency across specialties, and failing to articulate to practitioners their role in FPPE. Do you have the tools for FPPE compliance? "The FPPE Toolbox: Field-Tested Documents for Credentialing, Competency, and Compliance"provides exactly that a comprehensive toolbox full of the forms and tools you need to conduct FPPE and OPPE.

Eliminate the headache of developing an organizational system on your own Use the tools in this book to manage the tremendous amount of quality data you must gather through FPPE.

Don t reinvent the wheel get the tools you need to get the job done Take advantage of the expert knowledge and practical resources in this toolbox you can put its contents to use immediately at your facility, without wading through lengthy background information. Use sample policies and forms to create a cohesive competency documentation process This book and CD-ROM set includes field-tested FPPE policies from your peers around the country.
