The 2026 Course on Infection Control in Healthcare Settings is the most comprehensive and up-to-date continuing education resource for professionals working in the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Developed based on the latest guidelines from the WHO, CDC/NHSN, SHEA/IDSA/APIC, and ANVISA, this course offers an integrated and practical overview of the four essential pillars of a Hospital Infection Control program.
In Module I, the reader gains an understanding of the historical evolution of hospital-acquired infections, the WHO's eight essential components for an Infection Prevention and Control Program, the primary microorganisms responsible for HAIs, and the epidemiological chains of transmission, as well as the various types of precautions (Standard and Transmission-Based).
Module II delves deeper into the four major types of HAIs-CAUTI, CLABSI, VAE/HAP, and SSI-presenting the 2022 evidence-based prevention bundles, along with 2024 national progress data from the CDC. It also addresses mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (specifically ESKAPE pathogens and *Candida auris*) and the seven core elements of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program.
In Module III, the focus shifts to active epidemiological surveillance, adhering to the 2026 NHSN criteria. Students learn how to calculate and interpret standardized rates, distinguish between clinical and epidemiological criteria, and utilize data for continuous quality improvement and the early detection of outbreaks.
Finally, Module IV details best practices for the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of medical devices and environmental surfaces (including the Spaulding classification and 2025 SHEA updates), in addition to providing a complete step-by-step guide to outbreak investigation based on the CDC framework.
Featuring clear language, real-world clinical cases, a variety of assessment activities, quizzes with answer keys, and both international and national references, this course transforms knowledge into action. Ideal for nurses, physicians, pharmacists, infection control technicians, and the entire multidisciplinary team involved in patient safety.
Preventing HAIs is no longer an option-it is an ethical obligation and a survival strategy for healthcare systems. This material empowers you to lead this transformation within your institution.
