Program Description

Learning Objective: To provide healthcare professionals detailed instructions for proactive planning and implementation of controls to increase awareness and ensure that infection prevention and control are part of the plan during construction, repairs and maintenance


When a healthcare environment is disturbed during construction, repairs, and even small maintenance projects, pathogens can be released into the facility - with potentially devastating impact.

Topics covered in this program include:

  • Performing a multidisciplinary Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) prior to planned activity for indoor or outdoor construction
  • Implementing and monitoring mitigation recommendations/containment measures to prevent the spread of pathogens based on the project dust-generating activity, and patient risk group
  • Proper protocols for entering and leaving a work area
  • Environmental cleaning of the work site
  • Education of construction personnel who will work at the facility

The content in this program is based on the AIA/FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospital and Healthcare Facilities, CDC Prevention Guidelines for Environmental Control and The Joint Commission Environment of Care Standards.
