Safe Water Delivery in Healthcare Facilities

Just as healthcare providers strive to stop the spread of disease at its source in the body, so too are facilities trying to stop the source of waterborne viruses and bacteria before they get out of control. This course highlights the concerns and consequences of improper water delivery in healthcare facilities and discusses why they are embarking on a systems approach and using a monitoring system to manage water and infection control.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• At the end of this program, participants will be able to recognize why healthcare facilities must pay attention to the inherent structure of their plumbing systems and what is happening behind their walls so they can deliver safe, clean water to their patients, staff, and visitors.
• Discuss why monitored recirculating hot water systems and digital mixing valves protect user health and safety.
• Evaluate a healthcare facility's water system, identify potential problems, and discuss possible water delivery solutions.
• Discuss current codes and guidelines regarding water management programs (WMPs) and discuss the risk and prevention of the Legionella bacteria in healthcare settings.
• Compare traditional dialysis systems to modular dialysis systems and explain why modular dialysis systems and all-inclusive dialysis boxes protect the patient and the building's water supply.
