    Hi Pam

    Have you approached your HR department? Some of the HR platforms have a staff health region within their program, and in some cases fields to store vaccination data.

    However, there has been some interest generated recently in the options now available with the now ‘all of life’ Australian Immunisation Register, which may effectively allow all networks access.

    We utilise an excel spreadsheet as well and find it clunky and not user friendly.

    Hi John

    Assuming the acronym is to promote using the correct steps I would suggest: LOCATE

    L: Location of procedure

    O: Order of procedure

    C: Cleaning and disinfection

    A: Aseptic field established

    T: Technique non-touch

    (E: evaluate performace)

    The last is to encourage reflective practice.

    Perhaps someone can dream up something better based on this.

    Importance: High

    Dear Aicalist members,

    As you will know, the new ACSQHC Safety and Quality Standards include these (stretch) requirements:

    3.10 Developing and implementing protocols for aseptic non-touch technique

    3.10.1 The clinical workforce is trained in aseptic nontouch technique

    3.10.2 Compliance with aseptic non-touch technique is regularly audited

    3.10.3 Action is taken to increase compliance with the aseptic non-touch technique protocols

    It is quite a challenge to put in place a system that goes across all practitioners as I’m sure you know!

    The resources attached are available from UK (we have them on order).

    The Commission would be interested to know about programs around the country that have developed ANTT policies and procedures.

    Has anyone started regular auditing (other than say for CL insertion)? If so would you please share your audit tool(s)?

    What examples of action taken to increase compliance do you have?

    Have people had experience with the above UK resources?

    In Hunter New England, in addition to central line insertion, we’ve chosen to focus on IV insertion, wound dressing and IV medication preparation as our initial procedures to codify and audit. We already do skills lab training for IV inserters.

    We’ve also been throwing around the following guiding principles list for ANTT – would welcome your comments! Could we perhaps come up with a natty acronym for these 5 ‘moments’ of ANTT?

    Aseptic non-touch technique (ANTT) : core principles of practice

    1.WHERE TO PERFORM the physical environment for the procedure- where should it be performed; what are the situations where it should not be performed?
    2.SEQUENCING the most efficient and safest sequencing of procedure preparation and performance needs to be known by the operator and followed closely
    3.DISINFECTION- Hands, procedure trolley and the patient procedure site; correct disinfectant, method of application and avoidance of recontamination
    4.ESTABLISH AND PROTECT ASEPTIC FIELDS sterile drapes, plastic trays, sterile glove use, correct procedure sequencing and performance
    5.NON-TOUCH PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE specific to the procedure

    Thanks!

    John

    Dear John,

    Thank you for your email and sorry for the slow response. We will post you the ANTT Guideline CD which includes ANTT Audit Tools and the ANTT Practice Framework to the address provided.

    To implement ANTT effectively it is important to blend education with practical training. To support this, The Association for Safe Aseptic Practice (ASAP) provides ANTT Accredited training resources to help support training and implementation. The Implementation Pack includes all the resources required to implement ANTT across a large organisation.

    We charge a small amount for these resources to help support the ongoing development of ANTT resources. I have attached the Resource List along with a information sheet.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Best regards

    Pat
