The Preventing and Controlling Healthcare-Associated Infection Standard aims to reduce the risk of patients getting preventable healthcare-associated infections, manage infections effectively if they occur, and limit the development of antimicrobial resistance through the appropriate prescribing and use of antimicrobials.
The Preventing and Controlling Healthcare-Associated Infection Standard supports Western Health to provide Safe Care.
