IPAC in Construction for LTC: Maneuvering the complex environment of LTC Webinar

Speaker: Youhanna Salib
Recognized as the gold standard for IPAC in construction, CSA Z317.13 offers comprehensive guidance for infection prevention and control throughout construction, renovation, and maintenance projects. Although it’s widely adopted in Canadian hospitals, outpatient clinics, and long‑term care homes alike, the LTC sector faces unique hurdles, such as resident-specific health challenges, tight budgets, and limited space. In this webinar, the speaker will leverage real‑world case scenarios to reveal practical strategies for overcoming these challenges while adhering to CSA Z317.13’s best practices.
