Earlier this year, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) released its Aged Care Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Guide.
The Commission developed the Guide to support the implementation of the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and to supplement the Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare for those providing for older people.
ACIPC has received feedback from the industry raising concerns about the differences between the Aged Care IPC Guide the Communicable Diseases Network Australia (CDNA) Guidelines and the Australian Guidelines. In response we have compiled a comparison resource to help in understanding the main differences.
