Overview: Infection Prevention and Control Program: RoP

• Prevention (A Contemporary Fable)
o Primary Prevention : Hand Hygiene; Standard Precautions and PPE; Environmental Cleaning and
Disinfection; Placement; Respiratory Hygiene and Etiquette; Safe Injection Practices; Soiled Linen
• Key strategies
o Develop program based on Annual Assessment [Workplace Practice]
o Educate all staff at hire, annually, and audit practice frequently [Care Practice]
o Encourage all staff to provide feedback/support to one another [Leadership]
o Provide resources required for safe practice [Environment]
o Include family and visitors in all learnings and practices [Family and Community]
o Include senior leadership in program support and direction [Leadership]

Prevent Infections

• Florence Nightingale
o The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.
o Let whoever is in charge keep this simple question in her head (not, how can I
always do this right thing myself; but, how can I provide for this right thing to
always be done?

Facility Assessment for Infection Prevention & Control
5
Infection Control (483.80(a) – Infection prevention and control program.
The facility must establish an infection prevention and control program (IPCP)
that must include, at a minimum, the following elements: 1. A system for
preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections and
communicable diseases for all residents, staff members, volunteers, visitors,
and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement
based upon the facility assessment conducted according to 483.70 (e)
and following accepted national standards.

Key Points: Infection ControlFacility Risk Assessment
6
• Identifies facility’s risk for acquiring or transmitting infections based on…
o Geographic location, community data, and resident population
o Facility data – infection surveillance numbers, auditing results, immunization compliance, etc.
o Personnel feedback and observations
o Facility specific document
o Completed annually and whenever significant changes occur
o Used to develop your infection prevention and control plan and QAPI activities
