An ICRA is a multidisciplinary process that focuses on reducing
risk from infection throughout facility planning, design, and
construction (including renovation) activities. A multidisciplinary
team considers:
- the environment
- infectious agents
- human factors
- the impact of the proposed project.
The
team includes, at a minimum, experts in infectious disease,
infection control, patient care, epidemiology,
facility design,
engineering, construction, and safety, as circumstances
dictate. Source: American Institute of Architects. Guidelines for Design
and Construction of Health Care Facilities, 2006. www.aia.org.
