Behalf Of Lindy Ryan
Good afternoon everyone
Just wondering if anyone out there has any infection control guidelines
or references to any information regarding outpatients or ambulatory
procedure centres they would be willing to share?
There is a lot out there on long term care and aged care as lower risk
areas for infection control priority’s that I have been levering off but
nothing really that I can locate for Infection control management in an
outpatients department or in an ambulatory procedure centre that is
based on any comparative evidence or documentation .
Even if you don’t have any actual documents or references you are able
to share I would still appreciate your thoughts for some consensus /
dialog on just what infection control requirements / processes should be
in place in either or both these areas .
thanking you in advance & looking forward to what the thoughts are out
there from others in this area
regards
Lindy
