Self Audit Review Form for Infection Prevention and Control

This document is a self-audit review form designed for Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) in dental offices, serving as a companion to the RCDSO Standard of Practice. It outlines the necessity for Oral Health Care Workers (OHCWs) to maintain current knowledge of IPAC policies and procedures, ensuring that they are applied consistently. The form emphasizes the dentist's responsibility in training staff and maintaining necessary supplies and equipment. It details various components of the IPAC program, including routine practices, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE), and the cleaning and sterilization of instruments. The checklist format allows for the assessment of compliance with established standards, addressing areas such as physical space, hand hygiene protocols, and the handling of contaminated items. The document also includes sections for recording compliance notes and comments, facilitating thorough documentation and evaluation of the dental office's IPAC practices.
