Infection Prevention and Control Response and Escalation Framework: Evaluation and Application Beyond a Pandemic

Kathy Dempsey, Clinical Excellence Commission, Australia

Objectives

  • Define how the COVID-19 pandemic challenged and overwhelmed health systems around the world
  • Observe that Infection Prevention and Control became the epicentre of pandemic response across the globe although IPC decision‑making during emergencies is often reactive, inconsistent, and variable across services
  • Identify the many frameworks that were developed during and for responding to the pandemic, most if not all of which are no longer available
  • Describe how structured escalation frameworks strengthen IPC preparedness, not just emergency response
  • Determine that IPC must be embedded as a strategic, system‑level function rather than a reactive specialty response – Conclude that development and implementation of a response and escalation framework beyond pandemics such as this supports resilient, learning health systems
