The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have released free, downloadable Quick Observation Tools (QUOTs) for infection control. These tools are designed to help healthcare facilities quickly identify infection prevention deficiencies and take corrective action in real time to protect patients from healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
One example of the new QUOTs is focused on Injection Safety: Point of Care Testing which can be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/pdf/QUOTS/Injection-Safety-Point-of-Care-Testing-P.pdf
Learn more and download the QUOTs for infection control today!
