Manage episode 355261352 series 2935080
How do you navigate rapidly changing and competing guidance from industry, national and various state organizations? Laws regarding outbreak reporting also varies greatly from state-to-state and how do you develop a consistent protocol when your health organization spans multiple states? Catherine Kroll joins Justin Poulin and Dr. Larry Muscarella to share her experiences and insights related to leadership, organizational communication and staffing during the pandemic. Catherine also shares her story of how she combined several of her childhood interests in becoming either a detective, FBI agent or a doctor into a career as an epidemiologist. It wasn’t until Catherine’s niece contracted C. diff that she became aware of the hospital environment and infection prevention. Even though the pandemic has raised awareness and interest in infection prevention as a career path, one key to Catherine’s success as a leader is continuous recruiting and championing the profession. Today’s episode is inspiring and informative!
