Situation Report | September 12, 2022
Project Firstline (PFL) is an infection control training program for the nation’s frontline healthcare workforce. The training is free, short, concise, engaging, and available to participate in regardless of your busy schedule!
With the continued threat of COVID-19 variants, monkeypox and other emerging infectious-disease risks, IPRO and the Home Care Association of New York State (HCA) are working together to bring infection-control education to frontline healthcare staff in New York State through PFL.
PFL is supported by Health Research Inc. (HRI), the corporation that administers funding to further public health goals of the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and other entities.
PFL trainings are free and available to all health care workers. Its goal is to provide innovative, engaging, and effective training on infection control protocols directly to frontline healthcare personnel and the public health workforce, building on existing training for home health aides, personal care aides, and other direct caregivers, along with a special emphasis on training frontline staff who are not required to complete mandatory infection control training for re-licensure.
Regardless of how many times you have had infection control training in the past this foundation level infection control and prevention training will teach you concrete actions you can implement today and every day to stop the spread of infectious disease.
Train, test, and track results, award certificates of completion, and support staff to provide safer care to patients. This training will include a 1.5-hour video available on-demand, 24-7, through HCA E&R’s On Demand Channel.
