Just as technology awareness programs are held for your staff to know things like medical viewer API, same way infection education programs will allow the hospital and the healthcare professionals to educate and provide necessary information to patients about different types of diseases and infections. Such programs allow the transfer of basic information to patients in terms of observing symptoms and acting immediately to prevent them from spreading further. Such education programs should also be initiated in schools so that teachers and kids are aware and can inform beforehand if they observe something suspicious and wrong.

HOW TO EDUCATE PATIENTS ABOUT INFECTION CONTROL? Let’s know how your hospital should educate patients about infection control. 1. Using Technology Advancement in technology has allowed access to information with just push of a button. It is very easy for hospitals nowadays to print out and provide information in the form of hard copies and educating patients about different types of re-occurring infections and diseases. Hospitals and clinics can also use different media sources such as televisions, to show in the form of videos, the basic standards to follow in order to prevent and control infections. 2.

Educating Family Members It is important that family members too are informed about infection control information. Educating family members will allow the information to pass on quickly to other people in surroundings and enable them to follow the standards and instructions to act upon, in case they observe something unusual with a close relative’s health. 4. Understanding Patients Ability to Learn The ability to learn and understand varies from patient to patient. Some patients are slow when it comes to hearing, understanding and learning while others have a relatively quick pace and desire to move on to the next lesson. It is important for the hospital to acknowledge the varying understanding abilities and develop pace accordingly. 5. Developing Interest It is the duty of the health care professionals to motivate and develop the need for patients to gain education and learn. It is important to make patients understand the importance of education and the need to understand it. The hospital can provide relevant data regarding the number of patients that have been infected and will continue to be affected if proper infection control mechanisms are not followed.
6. Demonstration Demonstrations can play a huge role and be used as an excellent strategy to educate patients. The hospital staff could ask the patient to perform the learned procedures while they are hospitalized. Another good demonstration strategy is to ask the patient to demonstrate the learned procedure by teaching the same to their family members, assuming them as the hospital staff and healthcare professionals. Since every patient has a different learning pace, it is advised that the hospital staff remains patient and act accordingly. Kiosks are installed on the bedsides of patients in some hospitals that allows the hospital staff to notice and observe the patient’s grasp of key points and learned instructions. The kiosk includes modules and provides the patient with interactive sessions that they go through their own pace. The hospital could also provide a copy of patient-education sessions/classes for them to take home, share them with close friends and relatives and revise them whenever needed.
