With H1N1 and the influenza on the rise, we will also discuss flu transmission, symptoms and the latest updates from the Centers for Disease Control. We will review the top facility acquired illnesses, etiology and symptoms. In addition, we will discuss the revised F 441 Infection Control guidance to surveyors; it’s implications on your facility, your responsibilities, as well as what surveyors will be looking for.
