The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s The Targeted Assessment for Prevention (TAP) Strategy Three-Part Webinar Series
The Targeted Assessment for Prevention (TAP) Strategy is a quality improvement framework developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to offer a focused approach to infection prevention and help hospitals and healthcare systems overcome challenges to preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This three-part webinar series will explore how to run TAP reports using the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), strategies to complete the HAI specific assessments and how these tools can be used to guide infection prevention efforts. For more information on TAP Strategy, go to
