The IPAC Program Audit Tool (PAT©) is designed for internal auditing of a health care organization’s IPAC program, to verify that the IPAC program standards are being met. The PAT© may also be used as part of an organization’s ongoing quality improvement program and/or to prepare for external audits (audits carried out by outside agencies such as Accreditation Canada). The audit tool has been condensed into a standalone workbook for the convenience of the auditor.

HandyMetrics and IPAC Canada have partnered to transform the IPAC Canada Audit Toolkit into an easy-to-use App. The App is free to members who are affiliated with an organization that provides healthcare directly to patients in Canada.
