A healthcare facility’s water supply frequently has waterborne pathogens in it. This can become a reservoir for bacteria growth, leading to healthcare-associated infections. Fast, accurate, and specific identification of these waterborne pathogens is crucial for a bacteria free water supply. This course will explain the risks of waterborne pathogen transmission, discuss the prevalence of disease outbreaks from waterborne pathogens, and review the goals and elements of a water management program and evidence-based guidelines in water management.
