Frequently Asked Questions
AMRIC standards provide guidance for infection prevention and control (IPC) in healthcare, helping staff assess infection risks and apply appropriate standard and transmission-based precautions.
Standard precautions are infection control measures used for all patients, including hand hygiene, PPE, respiratory hygiene, safe sharps handling, and appropriate cleaning and waste management.
Transmission-based precautions are additional infection control measures used when infections can spread through contact, droplets, or airborne routes.
Transmission-based precautions should be applied when a patient has, or is suspected of having, an infection requiring additional measures to prevent healthcare-associated infection (HAI) transmission.
Effective IPC reduces the spread of infectious diseases and healthcare-associated infections. Regular risk assessment, correct PPE use, hand hygiene, and reflection support safer healthcare environments.
