Lisa Archer
@lisaarcher
I improve patient outcomes through infection prevention, clinical leadership, and compassionate nursing care.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently responsible for infection prevention at Prime Health Care's East Liverpool Hospital, where I assess, plan, implement, and continuously evaluate infection-control practices. I develop transmission policies, oversee employee health, conduct compliance rounding, and support patient advocacy, performance improvement, and risk management.
Across hospital, rehabilitation, hospice, emergency, medical-surgical, outpatient, and laboratory settings, I've provided direct patient care while leading teams, educating staff, and improving clinical processes. At Salem Regional Medical Center, I helped implement a new computer system, created staff teaching tools, audited documentation, coordinated workflow, and supported oncology, pain clinic, endoscopy, emergency, and medical-surgical care.
I'm a Certified in Infection Control registered nurse who brings 19 years of nursing experience, a commitment to holistic care, and a practical approach to policy development, staff education, compliance, and patient safety.
