“When Data Matters” Virtual Conference
May 29-31, 2020
Overview and Overall Goal
The energy and pace of the Surviving Mold conferences are pushing the CIRS boundary ever further. The explosion of medical knowledge from Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker and a team of medical professionals matches the might of the Falcon Heavy rocket that is propelling Elon Musk's Tesla to Mars!
This conference is a must-attend for the veteran Surviving Mold certified medical professionals as well as the newbies. Working with these medical professionals will lead to understanding how to work with many other medical professionals dealing with health effects from mold and bacteria.
A total solution for CIRS patients requires healthy, living environments free of microbial pollutants. The Indoor Environmental Professional Panel of Surviving Mold has identified a better way of inspection and remediation of property to ensure recovering CIRS patients won't be re-exposed to the hazards that made them sick.
Their consensus document is a blueprint for success that inspectors and remediators can follow. But the environmental industry has been slow to respond, showing an unwillingness to change their procedures. CIRS patients often struggle to find the right contractors.
CIRS patients are scattered throughout the country - and the world. The handful of current Surviving Mold consultants and the remediation contractors working one-on-one with them is not enough to serve this population. Help must be nationwide.
Change is happening - slowly. The S520 - the industry standard for remediation recently updated in late 2015. It’s being updated again. This ANSI standard for professional mold remediation is a starting point to understand mold remediation and cited by OSHA.
This conference is reaching outside of the medical community to find environmental partners that will provide the kind of remediation suitable for sensitive populations.
Leaders from those industries are invited to come and listen to the doctors to find out firsthand why the Consensus Document should be followed if they want to be successful with fungal fragments. Those leaders can relay their difficulties in implementing the changes to develop realistic solutions.
Leaders from the environmental / remediation industries provide insights for medical professionals about the realities their patients face with the struggle to clean up their homes and workplaces.
Medical professionals will get an understanding of the kinds of tests consultants used to inspect property to determine a remediation plan. Contractors will show the reality of what it takes to clean and rebuild property.
We, medical and environmental professionals, will talk and together strive for better answers for patients and clients.
This online conference does not have any commercial support or sponsorship.
Speakers will disclose any personal interest in their presentation.
