The National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Commission for Safety and Quality in Healthcare has released for public comment the Australian Infection Control Guidelines: preventing and managing infection in health care (the draft Guidelines).
The Guidelines are written from a care delivery perspective, focusing on safety and quality and using a risk management framework. "This approach differs from the current Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) 2004 Infection control guidelines for the prevention of transmission of infectious diseases in the health care setting which are disease and setting specific."
Submissions are invited for comment on this draft until the closing date of 10 March 2010.
