Held November 5 and 19, the sessions featured a Q&A with lead subject matter expert Sara Keller, M.D., M.P.H., M.S.P.H. Dr. Keller explained that the program will offer communication and teamwork skills, guidance on when to send urine cultures, and criteria for catheter insertion and appropriate alternatives. She also described the recommended team structure for participating units, which includes a small core team with a clinical lead and an infection preventionist, supported by broader unit engagement as needed.
