In practice
The work behind infection prevention & control.
Give the IPC team a shared view of recorded infections and the response underway. Review location and onset details, maintain outbreak line lists, review role-routed outbreak tasks and record public-health notifications. Keep decisions and outstanding work visible as the situation changes.
During an outbreak, teams need to know who is affected, what has been done and what still needs attention. When those details sit in separate spreadsheets and messages, each handover takes longer. A shared response record gives the next person a clearer starting point.
Infection records
Record infection type, onset date, organism and relevant care details. Check the entered date against the available clinical information.
Outbreak response
Record suspected outbreaks, confirm the facility or service area, update case counts and manage the response through containment and closure.
Line lists and exposure contacts
Maintain outbreak line lists and exposure contacts, including follow-up information, so the team can review who may be affected.
Response tasks and lead coverage
Review IPC lead coverage and outbreak task routing. Track outstanding tasks and mark completed work.
Public-health notification evidence
Record when an external public-health notification was made, its reference and notes. Review advisory targets against the applicable public-health advice.
Reports for review
Review recorded infection types, trends and status breakdowns. Use the underlying records to explain patterns and identify follow-up work.
The wider workflow
Where infection prevention & control connects.
Make assessment, care-plan review and care delivery part of one clinical evaluation. Inspect the underlying record and who can review, approve and act.

Evaluation
What to inspect with your team.
Bring a representative infection prevention & control scenario and use these questions to guide your demonstration.

- Inspect the records and outputs available for line lists and exposure contacts.
Requirements and responsibilities
The requirements behind the workflow.
Review how these requirements apply to your services and the responsibilities your team retains.
Reference area: Standards 4 & 5
IPC arrangements for your service
Apply the Quality Standards relevant to your registration and care setting. General IPC and clinical infection-control responsibilities are related but distinct.
Residential IPC lead
Department guidance requires residential aged care homes to appoint an ongoing onsite IPC lead. Confirm training, coverage and responsibilities for the home.
Public-health advice
Use current disease-specific and local public-health guidance for outbreak definitions, notifications and closure. An internal software target is not a universal statutory deadline.
Antimicrobial stewardship
Outcome 5.2 includes an evidence-based stewardship system appropriate to the clinical service. Agree the clinical review process and supporting records.

SIRS & Incidents
Flag serious harm for review and link an existing SIRS incident where appropriate. Your team assesses reportability and completes external notification.
Quality Standards
Use relevant IPC records in your standards evidence review; confirm the evidence links and supporting documents your team needs.
Questions about infection prevention & control.
Does Statura notify the public health unit for us?
The IPC workflow records an external notification, including its time, reference and notes. Your team makes the notification through the required channel and records the evidence in Statura.
Does one outbreak threshold apply to every infection?
No. Review the infection, care setting and current local public-health advice. Software prompts and internal targets support the response process; they do not replace the applicable outbreak definition or clinical judgement.
How does the IPC team follow up an outbreak?
Review the outbreak line list, exposure contacts and response tasks. Update case counts, record action and public-health communication, then review the basis for containment or closure.
How are serious incidents handled?
The infection record supports flagging serious harm for review and linking an existing SIRS incident. Your team assesses whether an incident is reportable and manages its separate notification requirements.
