Lunch & Learn Series: Infection Control During Health Care Renovations: ICRA 2.0 Revisited

ASHE’s recently revised infection control risk assessment guide offers improvements and clarifications to assist with prevention planning for healthcare construction projects. Since STARC’s expert panelists first began sharing their insights on ICRA 2.0 almost a year ago, they’ve received a ton of questions and valuable feedback from the field. Join them now for a refresher on their original discussion, as well as new insights gleaned over the past several months. Be sure to bring your questions about ICRA 2.0 adoption!
