COVID-19 Infection Prevention and Control Practices in Long-Term Care, Residential and Retirement Homes
Health Standards Organization (HSO) and Accreditation Canada are providing complimentary access to a selection of resources to fight COVID-19.
This toolkit has been created by Accreditation Canada (AC) and Health Standards Organization (HSO) to assist long-term care and residential care homes across Canada in understanding how to integrate essential Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices into their services in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This toolkit draws from a combination of national and international resources on COVID-19 such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) as well as actionable criteria found within HSO’s evidence-based standards.
This toolkit does not replace any jurisdictional legislation or professional regulatory requirements and should be used in conjunction with relevant clinical practice guidelines and other detailed IPC resources.
Standards purchased online are delivered as printable PDF downloads. If you would like a copy printed and shipped to you, please email publications@healthstandards.org
