Description:

Did you know your clothing can carry harmful germs? Yes, they can! Although medical scrubs help with infection control by reducing cross-contamination in healthcare settings, scrubs and healthcare linens can carry and spread bacteria and other germs to patients and healthcare workers (HCWs) if they are not appropriately handled. Join us as Gregory “Greg” Gicewicz discusses how to clean your scrubs and process linens to prevent transmitting healthcare-associated infections or illnesses.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how medical scrubs contribute to infection control.
• Explain how to properly clean and disinfect medical scrubs and healthcare linens.
