Galileo Search's Infection Prevention Outbreak Resolution Team
Quick and Effective Interventions to Address Outbreaks and Restore Safety at Your Facility
Immediate Action | Cost Effective | Proven
When safeguarding your residents' and staff's health and well-being in long-term care facilities, timely and effective response to infectious disease outbreaks is paramount. Galileo Search offers a comprehensive solution tailored specifically for nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities: our Outbreak Infection Prevention Support.
Our Infection Prevention Consultants comprise experienced and certified professionals who work closely with your facility's leadership and nursing staff. They know the urgency and complexity of outbreaks involving Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Influenza (Flu), Norovirus, and other serious infectious diseases.
That's why our IPs are here to provide the expertise and support you need to resolve outbreaks, help address compliance, and quickly and effectively ensure the safety and well-being of your residents, visitors, and staff.
Here's What Our Team of Infection Preventionist Can Do for Your Facility
- Apply Years of IP Experience: Our pool of Infection Prevention professionals has experience and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every situation.
- Collect and Analyze Date: The Infection Prevention professionals employ robust data collection and analysis techniques to understand the scope and severity of outbreaks, allowing us to tailor our response accordingly.
- Collaborate with Public Health Departments: The IP will work closely with local and state public health departments to coordinate efforts and address compliance with regulatory guidelines.
- Align Activity with CDC Guidelines: They take an approach firmly rooted in the latest guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ensuring that their interventions are evidence-based and effective.
- Review and Update Policy and Procedures: Review your facility's existing policies and procedures and make recommendations for enhancements to better prevent and manage outbreaks in the future.
- Educate and Train: Provide your staff with comprehensive, evidence-based education and training, empowering them with the knowledge and skills to prevent and respond to infectious disease outbreaks effectively.
