COVID-19 Preparedness Assessment
The current global pandemic has put modern infection prevention and control methods to the ultimate test. As a means to continue our fight against this ever-present threat, it is imperative that all health care facilities have completed a risk assessment, gap analysis, development of policies and procedures, and have provided frontline staff with updated training and education on the most current best practises.  IPAC Consulting will conduct an onsite risk assessment to provide you with customized COVID-19 policies and procedures and training for your frontline workers. We know that the health and safety of both your staff and residents is of the utmost importance to you.
