The Provincial Infection Diseases Advisory Committee released the Best Practices document for Surveillance of Health Care Associated Infections in All Health Care Settings in June 2008.

To support your surveillance practice, the RICNs have created a new Reference Tool. This tool is available in English and in French.

The RICNs are pleased to offer you a new on-line resource which will link you to concise, easy to read, infection prevention and control information on specific infectious diseases and conditions. The content is based on the most current best practice guidelines. To access this resource click here.
