IPAC Compliance Audits for Safer Healthcare

Regular mainly virtual infection prevention and control (IPAC) audits are critical to ensuring compliance, identifying gaps, and maintaining safe environments for patients, residents, and staff. Audits provide an objective review of practices such as hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, PPE use, isolation precautions, and policy adherence. IPAC audit services deliver structured, physician-led evaluations that highlight strengths, pinpoint risks, and provide actionable strategies for improvement.
