Recording Available: Advanced Infection Control for High-Risk Older Adult Populations

The recording is now available for the Masterclass Session, “Advanced Infection Control for High-Risk Older Adult Populations.”

Older adults with chronic conditions, compromised immune systems, or complex care needs are particularly vulnerable to infectious diseases, making proactive, evidence-based infection prevention essential in home and community-based, senior living, and long-term care settings.

This session explores best practices for infection prevention, effective outbreak recognition and response, and the role of antimicrobial stewardship in reducing infection risk, preventing transmission, and improving outcomes. 

Audiences will gain practical insights to strengthen infection control programs, support frontline staff, and minimize avoidable hospitalizations and care disruptions.

Session Objectives:

• Describe the importance of advanced infection control practices for high-risk older adult populations across the care continuum.
• Identify key best practices to reduce infection transmission, including strategies for early detection and outbreak response.
• Explain the role of antimicrobial stewardship in supporting infection prevention and improving resident and patient outcomes.
• Apply at least one practical strategy to support staff implementation of infection prevention and control measures in their care setting.
