1. Background
A learning management system is an essential part of a public-serving institution like NCDC. In 2020, the NCDC developed its first-ever IPC online training platform to address the COVID-19 IPC capacity needs of health workers, especially in hard-to-reach areas. This platform was utilized across the three levels of health, and the public, till it experienced a data breach and had to be closed. The demand for such services continues to linger amongst health workers and the general population of Nigerians. It is pertinent, not just to revive the online training system, but to improve the previous system with a more robust, and Internet-secure system. Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is a critical pillar in health due to the responsibility towards building the IPC capacity of health workers and working towards reducing/preventing diseases in Health facilities and amongst the populace through various methods.
As one of the approaches to improve the IPC capacity of healthcare workers in Nigeria, an online learning platform is required to build participants’ IPC capacity, especially at the lower levels of Health care and the public unable to access physical IPC capacity building sessions.
OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES:
The overall objective of the assignment is to further disseminate the Infection Prevention and Control knowledge and awareness in Nigeria through an online learning program. In support of this objective, the NCDC seeks the development of three (3) compelling and interactive online learning modules Course using existing NCDC content material on “Infection Prevention and Control”. This course is meant for healthcare workers and the public; designed to be carried out through a series of modules delivered in a self-paced format. Each module is expected to be designed to be housed on the Moodle platform of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. The online learning modules will address the following:
1. Module 1: “People and Systems – The Behavioral and Systematic Components of IPC”: This module will deal with the behavioral issues and components relating to Infection Prevention and control. Every Infection prevention and control program needs a strong leadership and team to drive its program. It also needs dedicated management with the right idea of IPC and how it translates to patient safety and care. This module highlights how behaviors and systems translate to promoting IPC in healthcare facilities.
2. Module 2: “Setting up an IPC programme and IPC Assessment”: This module generally relates to setting up a functional IPC programme and carrying out IPC assessments in health facilities and States.
3. Module 3: “IPC in specific areas”: This entails IPC during transmission-based precautions and other specific areas.
