The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has developed a draft Aged Care Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Guide and invite your feedback.
The draft guide aims to support the implementation of the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, and includes sections on IPC systems in aged care, risk assessment, standard and transmission-based precautions requirements, safely conducting and managing procedures and invasive devices, environmental sustainability in IPC, staff health and safety, infection monitoring and antimicrobial stewardship.
Have your say and help shape the future of IPC in aged care across settings. Find out more about the guide and complete their short (5 minute) survey by clicking here: https://www.safetyandquality.gov.au/newsroom/consultations/consultation-aged-care-infection-prevention-and-control-guide
Public consultation is open until Wednesday 15 May 2024.
