Meeting The Joint Commission's Enhanced Infection Prevention Standards

These changes emphasize enhanced hygiene practices, rigorous cleaning protocols, and stricter compliance measures to ensure patient and staff safety. Key updates include:

1. 1. Enhanced Hygiene Practices: Emphasizing the importance of hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of infections.
   2. Rigorous Cleaning Protocols: Implementing more stringent cleaning and disinfection procedures, especially in high-touch and high-risk areas.
   3. Compliance and Monitoring: Increasing the frequency of inspections and audits to ensure compliance with IPC standards and providing detailed guidelines for continuous monitoring.
   4. Education and Training: Mandating regular training for staff on IPC protocols to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest practices and standards.
   5. Patient Safety: Focusing on strategies to minimize hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) through better environmental cleaning and disinfection.
