Infection Prevention
Detect outbreaks early. Respond systematically. Prove the controls.
Post-Royal Commission, infection prevention and control requirements have been significantly strengthened. Statura Care's IPC module provides a complete surveillance, outbreak management, and audit system — from detecting the first case to closing the outbreak and documenting the lessons learned.
The Challenge
Outbreaks in aged care can be devastating. Early detection and systematic response save lives. But tracking infections across spreadsheets, managing outbreak notifications to multiple agencies, and maintaining audit compliance requires a dedicated system — not ad-hoc processes.
Key Capabilities
What the Infection Prevention module does.
Infection Surveillance Register
Track all detected infections with type (15 categories), onset date, laboratory confirmation status, treatment details, and outcome. Build a complete epidemiological picture of your facility.
Automatic Outbreak Detection
The system monitors for outbreak thresholds: 2 or more cases of the same infection type in the same unit within 72 hours triggers an outbreak alert. Early detection enables rapid response.
Outbreak Management Workflow
From declaration through control measures, daily monitoring, notification (PHU, ACQSC, families, staff), and closure. The system tracks every step with an outbreak timeline visualisation.
Hand Hygiene & Environmental Audits
Conduct and record audits with compliance scoring against your 80% target. Non-compliant areas trigger corrective actions that are tracked to completion.
Antimicrobial Stewardship
Track antimicrobial courses prescribed with type, indication, duration, and review compliance. Monitor patterns to support stewardship goals and reduce antimicrobial resistance.
IPC Analytics & Reporting
Infection rates over time, outbreak frequency and duration, audit compliance trends, antimicrobial patterns, and quarterly IPC reports for your governing body.
Regulatory Requirements
What the law requires.
The Aged Care Act 2024 (Standard 3 & 5) sets specific obligations that this module helps you meet systematically.
Mandatory IPC Lead
Every facility must have a designated IPC lead with appropriate qualifications.
Surveillance & Reporting
Ongoing infection surveillance and outbreak reporting are mandatory.
Outbreak Response Protocols
Defined protocols must be in place and followed when an outbreak is declared.
Antimicrobial Stewardship
Providers must implement antimicrobial stewardship programs.
Quarterly Governing Body Reports
IPC performance must be reported to the governing body quarterly.
