Infection Control Facility Assessments
Infection prevention activities are a central function of all healthcare establishments. Our experienced team can help prepare your facility for a regulatory visit by doing a focused infection control assessment site visit. We use the CDC ICAR tool to systematically assess a healthcare facility’s infection prevention and control practices, identify gaps and guide quality improvement activities.
Support for antibiotic stewardship
Preserving antibiotics and utilizing them judiciously is essential for human health. We offer support services to hospitals and skilled nursing facilities in developing and maintaining antimicrobial stewardship programs in their facilities. Effective antimicrobial stewardship programs are an increasing area of focus with regulatory bodies like CMS and the Joint Commission. Our stewardship assistance visits are structured as a facilitator-led gap analysis process. We use a tool based on the CDC’s Seven Core Elements to assist in determining where a program aligns with CDC guidance for antimicrobial stewardship programs. If any opportunities for improvement are identified, we provide evidence-based guidance, tools, or education to help work towards best practices.
Training for staff
Infection control is more than just policies and procedures, it’s an essential part of caring for and protecting patients. When you can understand and apply infection control actions consistently and confidently – every person, every action, every day – it saves lives. We provide training and educational materials and resources to help your frontline staff understand and confidently apply the infection control actions necessary to protect your patients, yourselves, and your coworkers.
Pandemic Preparedness
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen sometimes confusing and contradictory guidance from different public health authorities. Our experienced team of professionals can help in interpreting CDC guidelines on COVID-19 and advice on how best to apply them in your practice or business. Adherence to basic principles of source control and hand hygiene is essential when dealing with outbreaks of any infectious disease. We can help you to be better prepared for the next pandemic, and minimize it`s economic and social consequences for your practice or business.
Planning for Regulatory Assessments for Healthcare
Healthcare facilities are subject to site visits from several national organizations like CMS and Joint Commission and also state-specific regulatory bodies. Our team can help prepare you for these visits with a focussed facility infection control assessment. We can also help you in improving your infection prevention processes to address any deficiencies that arise during visits by regulatory bodies.
