The Infection Prevention and Exposure Control OneSource is designed to assist home health, hospice, and home care organizations with establishing a comprehensive infection prevention and exposure control program. Implementing an infection prevention and exposure control program for your staff, patients, and caregivers reduces the risk of contracting and spreading infectious diseases. An effective infection prevention and exposure control program is comprised of seven (7) components:
- Leadership Support
- Risk Assessment
- Gap Assessment
- Policy & Procedures
- Training & Education
- Record Keeping & Documentation
- Quality Improvement Activities
This guide follows the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Conditions of Participation for Home Health and Hospice with references to the Accrediting Bodies (Joint Commission, CHAP, & ACHC) and can be adapted for as necessary for home care organizations.
