Short on Time: Current Threats and Challenges in Long Term Care

There is no doubt that Long Term Care facilities were hit hard during the pandemic.  In many cases, these facilities do not have a dedicated infection control practitioner on staff which represented a significant gap in preparedness planning and exacerbated the struggles of reacting quickly and effectively to the viral threat.  On this week's episode of Transmission Control, Buffy Lloyd-Krejci joins Dr. Lawrence Muscarella and Justin Poulin to discuss long standing limitations and concerns surrounding infection control practices in long-term care and the significant opportunities for training, not only for clinical staff but non-clinical staff and the general public at large.  Tune in to learn where Buffy believes long term care needs to go from here!
