• implement effective strategies to prevent device-associated infections and evaluate the outcomes of these interventions;
• describe communication measures that promote inter-professional partnerships to implement HAI prevention strategies;
• understand the importance of active, ongoing infection prevention surveillance for early determination of HAIs.
