Infection Control Webinar Series: Best Practices for Post-Exposure Protocol in the Dental Office
2024-03-14 18:30 - 19:30
Infection Control Webinar Series: Best Practices for Post-Exposure Protocol in the Dental Office
Presented by Alyssa Aberle, MBA, RDH, CDIPC
Having an exposure in the dental office can cause a lot of worry and fear. Being prepared for these situations is the key. In this course, we’ll turn potentially serious situations into opportunities for confident and informed action in the dental office. This course will educate team members about exposure risks in the dental office, prepare team members to communicate with patients about these risks, and equip them to communicate with the occupational health clinic about their care.
Objectives:

Discuss common exposures in the dental office and associated risks
Assist the dental team in preparation of a “Grab & Go” packet for post-exposure protocols
Equip the dental team with resources and tools to effectively communicate with patients about exposure incidents and their role in preventing disease transmission
Provide dental team members with information to appropriately discuss their care plan with an occupational health provider

Ms. Alyssa Aberle is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine’s dental hygiene program. Alyssa has spent her dental hygiene career working with several local nonprofit organizations. She has a Certificate in Dental Infection Prevention and Control (CDIPC) and works with dental teams to provide annual OSHA and infection control training, audit preparation, and consulting to help implement better infection prevention practices for their patients. Ms. Aberle’s background as the Infection Control Coordinator for a large multi-site community health center gives her expertise in implementing systems to efficiently provide safe care.
Please note: This course is not intended to meet the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens annual training requirement as outlined in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. This course is intended to be a “closer look” at a specific infection control-related topic to supplement the annual OSHA training required for all employees in your practice.
