In 1992, the NYS Department of Health established a requirement that certain healthcare professionals licensed in New York State receive training on infection control and barrier precautions every four years. The goal of the training is to assure that licensed, registered or certified health professionals understand how bloodborne pathogens my be transmitted in the work environment: patient to healthcare worker, healthcare worker to patient and patient to patient. Participants will apply current scientifically accepted infection prevention and control principles as appropriate for the specific work environment and minimize opportunity for transmission of pathogens to patients and healthcare workers. Completion of this activity meets the NYS mandated training requirement.
