Our partners in the Capital Division at CJW have shared some education regarding the current safety standards for PPE usage and Infection Prevention. 

REMINDERs:

Ensure we are following appropriate PPE measures at all times.

  • Universal masking is still in full swing- please ensure you are masking up as you enter the facility each day and continue with the appropriate mask per your patient population throughout your shift.
  • All direct patient care requires both a mask and face shield/goggles
  • All non-COVID patient interactions require at least a mask, eye covering/face shield, and appropriate hand hygiene.
  • Goggles are to be worn in all patient care areas, including the halls
  • Safety Stand-Down

Please make sure you are adhering to the facilty specific PPE utilization and safety standards. 

Thank you for your dedication to Patient Care!
