Abstract:
 Infection prevention and control is an integrated, responsive process that is applied to all programs, services and settings and requires collaboration throughout the organization to develop, implement, and evaluate. When designing the infection prevention and control program, the unique characteristics of each organization guide the selection and implementation of guidelines and successful practices to support appropriate interventions.

The goals of the infection prevention and control program are to reduce the risks of transmission of infectious agents among and between patients and health care personnel and to reduce risks for infections developing in patients related to the use of devices and procedures required in their care. The goals are achieved through the processes of surveillance, ongoing analysis of data, prevention, and control. (JCAHO)

This report deals with the ‘best practice’ policies and procedures to meet OSHA, JCAHO, NCQA and other standards for accreditation and certification visits in a medical office or ambulatory care setting. Resources include forms, OSHA training program, OSHA standards, web sites, references. The report is updated annually.

Our ‘single topics’ provide the tools needed for a cost-effective, evidence-based strategy to increase the efficiency and quality of care management. Each is supported by current references from the peer-reviewed medical literature and other authoritative resources.
