Infection Control Risk Assessments determine the level of containment, monitoring, and protective measures required during construction activities in healthcare facilities. NIXN ICRA Workflows digitize the assessment methodology — guiding users through activity classification, patient population risk evaluation, containment specification, and the ongoing monitoring requirements that protect vulnerable patient populations during construction.
Each ICRA in NIXN follows a structured classification matrix that evaluates the construction activity type against the patient risk level in adjacent areas. The resulting risk classification drives the specific containment requirements — from simple dust control measures for low-risk activities to negative-pressure HEPA-filtered enclosures for high-risk activities near immunocompromised patient populations.
ICRA compliance monitoring through NIXN includes daily barrier integrity inspections, air quality measurements, differential pressure monitoring, and construction activity documentation. Deviations trigger immediate notification to infection control personnel, with investigation and corrective action workflows that document the systematic response to containment breaches.
