I was able to get a large number of quality control flags fixed in our NWSS program - though it unfortunately didn't solve the problem I was trying to fix. But happy to be figuring out the system and understanding some of it better

Big win for us--we finished our grant reporting documents for PHEP that are due today. Woohoo! The ORR can be quite the beast, IYKYK.

I also had my first video chat with my Mentor and I learned a lot in just 1 hour with her. I'm very much looking forward to this program and I will be completing my self-assessment this week.

Completed a review of recommendations and requirements for infection preventionist staffing in acute care hospitals, hopefully for a revised regulatory requirement in California.
