Our Services
Preventing the spread of infection should be every facility’s priority.
We all need to be doing our part in preventing infection transmission through improving practices aimed at mitigating disease transmission risk. Having an infection control expert partner with your organization can save valuable resources including your time.
At IPACmavens, a Board Certified Infection Preventionist can help you and your organization to improve on your quality and safety initiatives by implementing programs, trainings and standards which will reduce the risk of infection transmission.
We do this through the following services:
1. IPAC Assessment/Facility Audit
We will conduct a thorough assessment of your IPAC processes including an infection control risk assessment, and provide risk mitigation strategies.
2. IPAC Education
IPACmavens has developed programs with various options to educate and update healthcare workers on the latest practices, new and changing regulations, and much more.
3. Policy and Procedure Creation
We help develop such policies and procedures based on PIDAC and international published best practices. As new information becomes available, we help update your existing policies.
4. Accreditation Support
IPACmavens mock accreditation and survey preparation services ensure your personnel are knowledgeable of current standards and understand the proper processes for safe resident and patient care.
