Show Notes

Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci made it her life's work to improve infection control practices, founding the consulting firm IPCWell to further that mission in long-term care facilities. As a result, she sees nursing home practices first-hand, and she wasn't surprised by how hard COVID-19 hit these facilities when it started spreading last year. Dr. Lloyd-Krejci worked with Doctors Without Borders in their missions in nursing homes in Detroit and Houston, and continues to work with nursing homes on various infection control challenges. She joined Rethink to talk about that work, and why she's optimistic about improvement for infection prevention practices in nursing homes. Listen to this episode to learn: -How the current regulatory landscape for skilled nursing facilities hinders good infection control -Why frontline staff are becoming increasingly demoralized about the survey process -How hospital regulations around infection prevention provide lessons for nursing home oversight
