Dear All,
I am currently looking at planning and implementing this standard and
would appreciate some feedback from anyone who is working through this
or has completed it.I am interested to know what your highest risk, highest volume aseptic
technique is and which service this is linked to? E.g. ICU Central lines
OR aged Care – wound care
Which standardised audit tools did you use? (In the interim as my
understanding is there is a national set of audit tools is being
developed)
Which education tools did you use?
What with the key strategies that worked or challenges?Any feedback would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Mary-Rose Godsell

Hi Mary Rose,
We have recently passed our Standards 1-3 as we were fully certified last year .
We are also ISO accredited so in some areas of auditing the national standards we have audited the policy and procedures we have in place eg: in the periop area utilising some of the HICMR tools we audit the processes which in includes the aseptic technique but also perform a value added chain audit which follows a patient form preadmission to discharge so during this audit we also looked at the compliance of aseptic technique competencies as per the our procedure and then watch a surgical case to ensure that aseptic technique is maintained.
We have then introduced the Aseptic non touch technique tools technique tools . I attempted to utilise these tools in a ward area but found it very time consuming with little outcome. So I decided to audit a high risk area such as Oncology where I would get an efficient audit.
I did set up an invasive device register with input from the clinical managers & clinical nurses. I risk rated the devices against frequency and incidence of hospital acquired infection
I then added columns for require education & current existing competency or if we needed to develop one
Hope this helps
Kind regards
