CDPH Award Announcement: CALTCM LMG-IP Strike Team Project
CALTCM is proud to announce that it has received an award from CDPH's Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program. Our project, the Leadership and Management in Geriatrics Infection Prevention and Control Leadership Program (LMG-IPC Strike Team) combines the methodology from two established CALTCM programs, CALTCM SNF 2.0® and CALTCM’s Leadership and Management in Geriatrics course (LMG)®.
The program combines leadership training, Quality Assurance/Process Improvement (QAPI) exercises, and interactive team-based training to build cohesive leadership teams that will work collaboratively and effectively to improve processes critical to the delivery of safe, high-quality, person-centered care. Through its intensive curriculum and a series of interactive webinars, this program will focus on emergency preparedness and infection prevention and control.
