The Infection Control (IC) Risk Assessment grid is a visual tool to develop IC program priorities and stratify infection risks based on our geography, location in the community, and our patient population. The annual IC Plan is developed based on these risks.

The Risk Assessment is an ongoing, continual process. If an outbreak should occur it will take precedence over the IC Plan.
