COLLABORATIVE WEBINAR:
MAHQ - CANDIDA AURIS: Challenges and Quality Improvement Strategies for Prevention, Containment, and Patient Safety (CE 1.5 NAHQ)

OVERVIEW

Candida auris (C. auris) continues to emerge as a significant healthcare-associated pathogen, presenting complex challenges for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and healthcare systems nationwide. Its ability to spread within healthcare environments, persist on surfaces, and exhibit resistance to multiple antifungal medications makes early identification and effective prevention strategies critical to patient safety.

This webinar will explore the evolving threat of Candida auris and the key challenges healthcare organizations face in detection, containment, reporting, and outbreak prevention. Attendees will learn how quality improvement methodologies can be leveraged to strengthen infection prevention programs, enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, improve surveillance efforts, and reduce the risk of transmission.

Through practical examples and evidence-based strategies, participants will gain valuable insights into developing sustainable processes that support regulatory compliance, patient safety, and organizational readiness.
