Infection Prevention and Control

The Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Program prevents the spread of infections and protects all residents, tenants, staff, volunteers, caregivers, friends and loved ones that make up the Perley Health community. We achieve this through a mix of evidence-based practices; ongoing education and ongoing surveillance; and exercising our passion for excellence and dedication to infection prevention.

The IPAC program implements key health and safety practices within the organization including but not limited to: hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfection protocols, monitoring infection rates, outbreak management, and facilitating education and training.
