The audit is a mandatory requirement under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and related guidance, emphasizing the need for registered providers to regularly assess their adherence to IPC policies and procedures. Annual completion of an IPC audit is recommended for quality assurance, with additional audits potentially required if multiple residents contract the same infection. The tool, adapted from the Department of Health's (2006) IPC audit tool and the Community Healthcare Audit by Leeds Community Health, allows homes to self-assess against specific standards by marking 'Yes', 'No', or 'N/A' for each criterion. A comments column is provided for additional remarks. The audit includes an easy-to-use scoring system to determine the percentage risk for each standard, facilitating the creation of an action plan for progress monitoring and necessary improvements.","Care/Nursing Home\nInfection Prevention and Control\nSelf-Audit Tool\nPrepared on behalf of BNSSG CCG by:\nKaren Oliveira l RN/RM/NMP l PGCert, BSc, ILM, TD l BNSSG CCG - Nurse Advisor Health Protection & IPC Cell\nContents\n\u000f\nIntroduction\nAudit is a requirement of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, code of practice for registered providers on the prevention and control of health care associated infections and related guidance, which states that registered providers must audit compliance against key infection prevention and control policies and procedures. Ideally, for quality and assurance purposes registered care/nursing homes providers should complete an IPC audit annually.\nHomes may also be asked to undertake an IPC audit if they have had two residents within the care/nursing home with the same infection.\nThis audit is based on the Department of health (2006) IPC audit tool and adapted from the Community Healthcare Audit published by Leeds Community Health. When completed the care-nursing home will gain an overall perspective of any IP&C issues that may need to be addressed.\nSelf-assess against each of the standards by entering Yes, No or N/A in the appropriate box for the whole of the audit. You can also add any comments you may have in the end column against each standard.\nThere is an easy to use scoring system which enables you to highlight the percentage risk for each standard.\nHow to work out the percentage of each standard:\nOnce the audit is completed then an action plan can be formed and progress monitored.\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\n\u000f\nAudit Result:\n\u000f\nACTION PLAN","cbCaibpaoEE1eDee","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibpaoEE1eDee","docx",104657,47,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Contents","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Care/Nursing Home Infection Prevention and Control Self-Audit Tool?\",\"answer\":\"The purpose is to assess compliance with infection prevention and control (IPC) standards as required by the Health and Social Care Act 2008, helping care homes identify and address potential IPC issues.\"},{\"question\":\"How often should a care/nursing home complete an IPC audit?\",\"answer\":\"Ideally, registered care/nursing home providers should complete an IPC audit annually for quality and assurance.
