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.

Some government policies affect the supply and price of food together with its availability. Without transportation of food from where it is grown to the market place, people would eat only foods grown and processed locally. Transportation systems make selection of food possible all year round. In the food industry, technology provides scientific methods of preserving food and processing it, so that it is available throughout the year. Here are some government agencies concerning food and health programs:  Department of Education ( DepEd) Educates the youth and gives information regarding health and food nutrition.  Department of Health ( DOH ) Creates program about nutrition and gives preventive measures against diseases.  Food and Nutrition Research Institute ( FNRI ) FNRI is the principal research institute of the government in food and nutrition. It conducts researches, distributes publication and provides program services.
