Webinar for Outpatient Oncology Providers: CDC tools to help protect cancer patients from infections
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent this bulletin at 09/12/2012 09:36 AM EDT
Unsafe injection practices in outpatient oncology settings have resulted in numerous outbreaks of hepatitis and bloodstream infections. Some outpatient oncology providers may be unknowingly exposing their patients to the risk of dangerous infections. This webinar is a must-see for every doctor, nurse, and health care provider who works with cancer patients.
Join experts from the CDC and others for a free webinar to learn what you can do to ensure that your outpatient oncology clinic is:
• following recommended infection control and related standards, and
• helping patients reduce their overall risk for infection.
