SUMMARY:Healthcare’s Invisible Barrier: The Critical Role of IAQ in Infection Prevention
DESCRIPTION:\n\n		   About This Session\n	\n	In the fifth installment of our CLEAN Lessons Learned series, we will explore the critical role of indoor air quality (IAQ) in healthcare settings and its impact on controlling infectious disease transmission. This session will draw on the rich experiences of our expert panel to address the complexities of managing pathogen spread in healthcare settings, focusing on how IAQ improvements can play a pivotal role in enhancing infection control and reducing the impact on our health service providers and patients.\nBrought to you by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA ( https://www.aiha.org/ )), this session bridges the gap between indoor air quality practices and the evolving strategies needed to control infectious disease risks in healthcare environments effectively.\nTogether, we will delve into the critical intersection of indoor air quality (IAQ) and infectious disease transmission in healthcare environments.\nThe session will feature a panel of distinguished experts from the Yale School of Medicine ( https://medicine.yale.edu/ ), The Safer Air Project ( https://www.saferairproject.com/ ), and Routt County ( https://www.co.routt.co.us/ ). These panelists bring extensive expertise in air quality, infectious disease control, and public health, making their insights invaluable as we navigate the complexities of enhancing healthcare safety through improved indoor air quality and innovative infection control strategies.\nJoin us on October 16th, 2024, at 5:00 PM EST / October 17th, 2024, at 8:00 AM AEST. Your participation is crucial. We value your insights, perspectives, and contributions as we work together to shape effective strategies for combating airborne infectious agents.\n\n		   Sponsors\n	\n			\n							\n		\n		\n\n		   Moderators\n	\n							\n		Erik Malmstrom\n			Chief Executive Officer at SafeTraces, Inc.		\n							\n		Georgia Lagoudas\n			Pandemic Center, Brown University		\n\n		  Confirmed Experts\n	\n							\n		Richard Martinello\n			Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine		\n							\n		Plum Stone\n			Owner of Exposure Assessment Consulting, LLC		\n							\n		Roberta Smith\n			Director of Public Health at Routt County		\n							\n		Bronwyn King\n			Founder, CEO and Director of Tobacco Free Portfolios		\n\n		  Grab your spot now!\n	\n	\n\n		   Time to network: Join the social lounge\n	\n	Enhance your event journey!
