Infection control considerations for haematology and cancer pts. – service, building , ward layout/ flow for inpt services/accommodations schedule

[Lindy Ryan]

Dear Colleagues

Just wondering if anyone can guide me toward any useful information
regarding infection control recommendations/ advice for inpatient
haematology / cancer ward locations/ layout/ flows (also includes
transplant pts.).

I can only locate the CDC information around outpatient oncology
settings which isn’t really helpful in regard to physical location,
layout and flows and I was unable to find any helpful information on the
Australasian health care facility guidelines for this highest risk area
either.

Any ideas or links really appreciated

Thanks you in advance

Regards

Lindy

Are you able to locate the most recent edition of the US “Guidelines FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF

Health Care Facilities: The Facility Guidelines Institute”.

Depending on the extent of your build/ reno this may be a very wise investment although not inexpensive. It certainly was for the team at Gold Coast Hospital. Also my understanding from years of dealing with US ICPs is that this document in each updated version is their absolute “go-to” document for reno and construction. It goes well beyond the scope and general detail of CDC Guideline.

Good luck

Great tip.

It costs $168 US dollars but they have a facility that allows you to
read the whole document with a ‘RealRead’ (a javascript program).

Cannot print it out but worth looking at.

Below is the link. RealRead link is at the bottom of the page
