Infection Control Risk Assessment
Infection control risk assessment is an important part of healthcare. Through careful evaluation of the environment and personnel, it seeks to identify, quantify and reduce risks of infection and the spread of contamination. It focuses on prevention, detection, and management of infection, in order to protect patients, healthcare workers and the public. Proper infection control risk assessment also enables healthcare staff to create infection prevention and control plans. Additionally, it helps in identifying problems and lapses in current practices, leading to better care and patient safety. Furthermore, it is also a key tool in the monitoring and evaluation of healthcare facilities.
