Other controls in Standard 3: Preventing and Controlling Infections – Australia National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards Second Edition

3.01-3.04 The clinical governance, quality improvement and consumer partnership systems are applied to infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship: multidisciplinary teams, hierarchy of controls, training, capacity and equipment, performance monitoring and reporting, resource sustainability and pandemic planning
3.05 A surveillance strategy collects and uses data on healthcare-associated and other infections and on antimicrobial use and appropriateness, incorporates national and jurisdictional information, reports to the workforce, board and consumers, and tracks responsiveness to identified risks
3.06-3.09 Standard and transmission-based precautions consistent with the national infection control guidelines are implemented, risk-assessed with patients and workforce, supported by PPE processes, monitored and audited, applied by the workforce considering patient risk, placement, environment, procedures and movement, and infectious status is communicated at transitions and to patients
3.10-3.11 A hand hygiene program consistent with the National Hand Hygiene Initiative audits compliance, addresses non-compliance against benchmarks, reports results and actions, and improves compliance; aseptic technique processes identify where it applies, assess and train competence and monitor compliance
3.12-3.14 Invasive medical devices are used and managed consistently with the national guidelines; the environment is kept clean, safe and hygienic with TGA-listed products, cleaning training, audits and improvement; and infection risks from equipment, areas, building works, linen and novel infections are evaluated and addressed
3.15-3.16 A risk-based workforce screening and immunisation program follows the Australian Immunisation Handbook and jurisdictional requirements, and workforce infection risks are managed through screening, exclusion, non-attendance when unwell, movement control, support for isolation and quarantine, outbreak management and service continuity planning
3.18-3.19 An antimicrobial stewardship program has a policy, current Australian therapeutic guidelines, a formulary with restrictions and approvals and the Antimicrobial Stewardship Clinical Care Standard elements, acts on audit results, reviews prescribing and use, uses resistance and usage surveillance, evaluates itself and reports to clinicians and the governing body
