Integrating clinical governance
Antimicrobial stewardship
The health service organisation implements systems for the safe and appropriate prescribing and use of antimicrobials as part of an antimicrobial stewardship program.
Reprocessing of reusable medical devices
Reprocessing of reusable equipment, instruments and devices is consistent with relevant current national standards, and meets current best practice.
Infection prevention and control systems
Evidence-based systems are used to prevent and control healthcare-associated infections. Patients presenting with, or with risk factors for, infection or colonisation with an organism of local, national or global significance are identified promptly, and receive the necessary management and treatment. The health service organisation is clean and hygienic.
Clinical governance and quality improvement to prevent and control healthcare-associated infections, and support antimicrobial stewardship
