Description

IPAC Canada and APIC have recently collaborated on development of the Ethical IPAC Decision-making Framework. The document can be viewed here (https://ipac-canada.org/ipac-canada-publications). The EIPAC framework provides a step-by-step fair process for IPs/IPCs and/or other involved stakeholders to work through ethical issues that arise in IPC. The framework is designed specifically to address issues that will have substantive impacts on patients/residents, families, visitors, and staff. The framework can be used in both acute care settings and congregate living settings, such as nursing homes/long-term care homes and independent living facilities.
