Our system special pathogens team just wrapped up a successful, comprehensive Trained Observer (TO) Training & Simulation course.
Participants mastered the critical roles of
leading, protecting, and guiding the correct use of special pathogens/high consequence infectious disease PPE ensembles to ensure safety of healthcare workers as well as how to communicate effectively, remain vigilant, and know when to step in.
