    Keynote speaker:  Laurie Guest, CSP

    She is well known for her imaginative ideas and entertaining style. Twenty four years of experience in the healthcare industry and years as a business owner, give Laurie unique insights into the challenges facing businesses and the impact of an apathetic staff. She expounds on the lessons she’s learned along the way to help others in their professional and personal lives, overcoming obstacles and increasing positive outlooks and productivity.

    Her uniquely themed presentations are tailor-made to leave a lasting impression. Laurie has an infectious energy that draws in the audience, bringing her humor with a mission to create a relevant and memorable experience.

    Coming to Convention:

    Through a grant from the Idaho Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) Program, running concurrent to the 2019 Convention, will be a 3-day Infection Preventionist Certification TrainingMUST attend ALL 3 days.  Only open to those pre-registered.

    The Nursing Home Infection Prevention Program …Nipping Infection in the Bud aka NIPP © is a packed 16 hour training program to prepare the professional to meet the intent of the CMS guidance for the skilled nursing facility (facility) designated Infection Preventionist.   At the conclusion of this training the participants will be able to design an effective infection control and prevention program.

    Participants will receive training materials that will include an infection control manual.  This program is interactive and will include exercises to enhance the learner’s comprehension of the subject matter taught.  Participants will need to bring their own personal protective equipment (PPE).  This would include gowns, gloves, and disposable masks.

    Upon completion, if desired, a 100 question examination will be emailed to participants.  A minimum score to pass is 80. Directions for the test are completed on site and graded at the RB Health Partners, Inc. office. Certificates will be emailed unless other arrangements are made.
