CQC: Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)
"We will continue to regulate care and hospital locations over the coming months to support organisations as they prepare for winter and provide assurances to the public that locations are safe and well prepared, including for people who are discharged from hospital with a Covid-positive status."
CQC May 2022
The IPC questions and guidance were updated in Summer 2022 and the new version has been added to all QUIQCARE / CQC Pro systems for CQC Compliance.
The previous version will be left on your system until November 1st 2022 to provide time to migrate to the new version. This can be done by copying relevant items to the new version, or re-entering data updated on the new version.
Unfortunately, in this instance, we are not able to automatically migrate any data already entered in the old version due to the differences between the versions.
The old version can be found on your system under:
Assurance > COVID 19 > IPC Infection Prevention and Control
The 2022 Version is above it titled:
Assurance > Infection Prevention & Control 2022

"QuiqCare is definitely worth looking at, the breadth of functionality offered for the price represents good value. I can see that the years of development working with the NHS and other areas of health and social care have resulted in a powerful platform that I would recommend to other practices looking to save admin time and focus on quality improvement."
