National Infection Prevention and Control Week , that ran from October 17 to October 21, showed the importance of hand hygiene and its link to better heath care. The Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) team hosted a presentation by Dr. Yves Longtin, Chair of Infection Prevention and Control Unit, on the importance of preventing the transmission of CRO within the CIUSSS. A video of Dr. Longtin’s presentation is available on the intranet, click here to watch it.
The team also had a kiosk located in Pavilion K with games, gifts and a photo booth! A hand hygiene pledge tree, where visitors were asked to sign their name and guarantee their commitment to keeping our network safe, was on display to demonstrate that hand hygiene is everyone’s responsibility and we should all be making a conscious effort to protect ourselves and our users.

The end of IPAC Week was followed by the National Patient and User Safety Weeks that started on October 24. With popular kiosk activities all over CIUSSS West-Central Montreal, there was a large scope of learning for all participants involved! At the JGH alone, 18 kiosks presented their mandate and how their helping our network every day.
