Epidemiology Division at CDPHE.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is now an
official partner of the One & Only Campaign , a public heath campaign led by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Safe Injection
Practices Coalition (SIPC) to raise awareness among patients and healthcare
providers about safe injection practices. The campaign aims to eradicate
outbreaks resulting from unsafe injection practices.
CDPHE, CDC and SIPC
urge all healthcare providers to know the difference between single-dose and
multiple-dose vials. The One & Only Campaign recently launched an
interactive infographic that walks healthcare providers through the safe use of
vials from various perspectives - providers, office managers, and patients - and
concludes with a quick quiz to test your knowledge of medication vials. The
infographic is available in two formats:
- Web-based infographic (http://bit.ly/1eXsMKL)
-
Printer-friendly PDF (http://bit.ly/1bpdmOX)
Please feel free to distribute
this infographic widely among healthcare providers and other networks, including
email and social media. Thank you for your efforts in educating your partners
and colleagues about safe medical injections!
