ASCs will need to demonstrate that they have provided on-going staff training addressing the extra precautions necessary in the COVID-19 Environment. This training is designed to assist in meeting those training requirements and to demonstrate to surveyors that staff have been appropriately trained. This in-service focused on COVID-19 infection control precautions. This includes hand hygiene, environmental cleaning specific to frequently touched surfaces, PPE use, reprocessing and HLD considerations, social distancing, and considerations in specific clinical settings (ie. Preop/PACU/OR/Procedure Room).

• Session 1-Infection Control Considerations: Hand Hygiene / Hand Washing Practices
