National Immunisation Schedule in India - Starter QuizImmunization SpottersUNIVERSAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMMEMedication Safety, Immunization and OTC7.012 Employee Health The Center provides a safe working environment for all employees through a collaborative effort with them and the organization’s infection control program to identify infectious conditions that may put staff, patients and visitors at risk. Health evaluations, immunity testing for measles, mumps rubella and chickenpox, tuberculosis screening and immunity testing for hepatitis B and if not immune either signs declination form or accepts 3 dose vaccine series. (Rrefer to the Employee and Occupational Health Section policy Chapter 3.21) It is the center’s policy to monitor Health Care Associated Infections (HAI) in patients and personnel working in the Center as part of its ongoing program in Infection Prevention and Control. Staff should be encouraged to stay home when they have signs and symptoms of an infectious disease. If a staff develops signs and symptoms while at work, the person of other personnel and patients who may have been exposed to a staff member with a communicable disease should be taken into consideration. Patients and personnel can be told that they were exposed to a certain disease without disclosing the index case’s identity. In addition we work together to provide an annual influenza vaccination program that includes all staff who have patient contact, and licensed independent practitioners. Environmental Rounds - Environmental rounds are performed daily by assigned staff members, ie. “safety officer”. Feedback on opportunities for improvement is given to the Infection Control Coordinator and QAPI committee and then reported to the board Education – Employee education includes: General information about infections Techniques for prevention, surveillance, investigation and control Review of policies and procedures related to infection control: (See attachment B, policy and procedure reference list) Employee health practices; refer to Administration 3.16 Orientation and Training Offer of Hepatitis B vaccination & post exposure evaluations Annual TB skin testing Provides access to influenza vaccinations. Educates staff and licensed independent practitioners about influenza vaccination; non-vaccine infection control measures (such as the use of Droplet Precautions); and diagnosis, transmission, and potential impact of influenza. Annually evaluates vaccination participation and non-participation in the influenza immunization program and reports to Department of Health. 7.018 Safe Injection Practices (Refer to 7.07 Safe Injection Policy) Environment of Care: Active participation with all identified projects to assess compliance with infection control standards. . Surveillance, Control, and Reporting includes: Baseline information about the frequency and type of nosocomial infections. Identification of patients and/or staff with communicable or potentially communicable infections. Patients identified with a communicable disease will be isolated from other patients in the facility or, if this is not possible, they will be transferred to a local hospital for care or rescheduled. Identification of clusters of microorganisms or significant deviations from endemic level. Reporting to committees and outside agencies, when required. Investigation of infections as needed. Immediate implementation of corrective and preventive measures that result in improvements. The Infection Control nurse or designated staff member will perform facility audits and report results to the QI committee and Board of Managers. EVALUATION Evaluation and improvement of the infection prevention and control activities are important steps in the Center’s efforts to control and prevent infection. Infection prevention and control practices should become a routine part of the care, treatment, or services the center provides to patients. Patients expect and deserve hygienic and safe care even if their contact with the Center does not extend beyond a single visit. Continuous review of the goals, activities, and outcomes of the Center’s initiative are therefore followed by improvement activities that are realistic in expectation and, above all, effective. Evaluation of the plan shall include but not be limited to: Evaluation of the infection prevention and control activities annually and whenever risks significantly change. The evaluation includes a review of the following: The infection prevention and control prioritized risks The infection prevention and control goals. Implementation of infection prevention and control Outcomes of infection prevention and control activities. Findings from the evaluation are communicated at least annually to the Quality Management Committee References: http://oneandonlycampaign.org/content/what-are-they-why-follow-them.
