Tips for Implementing Interventions

These tips are to help educators prepare for a live training session and facilitate an interactive experience.

• Reinforce that the session focuses on ways the team can work together to improve resident safety and reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and other healthcare-associated Infections (HAIs).
• Explain that during the session, information and expectations about how the team can work together to promote a safe environment for residents and staff will be shared.
• Encourage staff to ask questions and share concerns throughout the session.
• Distribute handouts and ask staff to participate in activities; use the facilitator's guide as a resource.
• Should you use the video, start and pause it as needed to address questions.
• Encourage staff to share their own stories, successes, challenges, or barriers to meeting expectations.
• At the end of the video/presentation, ask staff to review discussion questions or activities and identify correct answers and processes with the entire group in a safe and nonpunitive manner. Provide additional resources or followup as needed based on the responses.
• Thank staff for attending and reinforce the importance of their role in eliminating HAIs/CAUTI and improving resident safety culture.
