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. For more, consult the Facility
Guidelines Institute, Guidelines for Design and Construction
of Health Care Facilities, 2010 from
the Facilities Guidelines Institute. View and order from the
Institute.
