Infection Prevention and Control

Investing in the development of an infection prevention and control manual demonstrates a commitment to patient and staff safety, regulatory compliance, cost-effective healthcare delivery, and continual quality improvement, all of which are essential components of a successful clinic.

Raven Medical Management is here to navigate you through incorporating these key benefits into your practice flow in a meaningful way through the implementation of our curated infection prevention and control program:

  • Compliance with Regulations

    Canadian healthcare facilities are governed by strict regulations and standards set by provincial health authorities. Developing a comprehensive manual ensures that the clinic remains compliant with these regulations, reducing the risk of penalties or legal issues.

  • Patient Safety

    The primary goal of infection prevention and control is to ensure patient safety. By implementing standardized protocols outlined in the manual, the clinic can minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections and protect patients from potential harm.

  • Staff Safety

    In addition to patient safety, the manual also focuses on protecting healthcare workers from exposure to infectious agents. Clear guidelines on proper infection control practices, including hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and environmental cleaning, help safeguard the health and well-being of clinic staff.

  • Preventing Outbreaks

    Infectious outbreaks can have serious consequences for both patients and staff, as well as the reputation of the clinic. An effective infection prevention and control manual equips the clinic with strategies to prevent and manage outbreaks, thereby minimizing disruption to operations and maintaining public trust.

  • Cost Savings

    Healthcare-associated infections can result in increased healthcare costs due to prolonged hospital stays, additional treatments, and potential litigation. By proactively implementing infection control measures outlined in the manual, the clinic can reduce the incidence of HAIs and associated costs.

  • Enhanced Reputation

    Patients expect healthcare facilities to prioritize their safety and well-being. By demonstrating a commitment to infection prevention and control through the development and implementation of a comprehensive manual, the clinic can enhance its reputation as a provider of high-quality, safe care.

Continual Improvement: Developing a manual is not a one-time task; it requires ongoing review and updates to reflect the latest evidence-based practices and regulatory requirements. By regularly revising the manual and conducting audits to assess compliance, the clinic can continually improve its infection prevention and control efforts, ensuring the highest standards of care are maintained.

Clinics that secure their quality practices with Raven Medical Management are enrolled in a valuable reminder program to help them stay aligned with current regulations and best practice.
