Instruction focused on the principles and practical application of a method designed to reduce the risk of infection during clinical procedures. This educational process equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to perform tasks while minimizing direct contact with key parts and sites, thereby maintaining sterility. An example includes a course that teaches nurses how to administer an intravenous injection without contaminating the cannula or insertion site.
Such preparation is crucial in preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), improving patient outcomes, and reducing associated costs. Historically, inconsistent approaches to sterile procedures led to increased infection rates, highlighting the need for standardized training. This approach ensures a uniform level of competence among practitioners, contributing to a safer healthcare environment.
