A focused appraisal on infection control includes an evaluation of clinical procedures employed by nurses, physicians and other team members as well as an examination of the physical environment. Our experts will recommend solutions to prevent surgical site infections and improve patient outcomes.
Infection control risk assessments include a review of the following
Administrative role/culture
Surveillance methodology/activities
Data review/reporting mechanism
Policy review
Patient factors
Clinical practice
Instrument processing activities
Environmental factors
Interdisciplinary relationships
Education related to infection control
At the end of the consultation our consultants will provide objective information and guidelines based on evidence based practice and current national standards for your hospital or ambulatory surgery center. A written report detailing the findings and recommendations will be submitted as well as an action plan that can be used by the facility or ASC to implement the recommended changes.
