Answer 2

The team coordinates a programme of work to ensure patients, staff and the general public are protected from the harm that might arise from avoidable infections. The infection control team is generally tasked with the following: Surveillance (early warning), Advice, Policy formulation, Education and training, Conducting audits.

Evaluating each patient or situation for it's potential risk where infection is concerned is primary in reducing the possibilty of spreading infection. If patients are not screened for risk...an infection could go undetected puting their health and the safety of the health care facility at risk.

Risk Assessment Defined
The essence of microbial risk assessment is describing a system in which a microbial hazard reaches its host and causes harm. Risk assessment consists of four steps: hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response assessment, and risk characterization (6). The knowledge in each step is combined to represent a cause-and-effect chain from the prevalence and concentration of the pathogen to the probability and magnitude of health effects. In risk assessment, risk consists of both the probability and impact of disease. In this way, risk reduction can be achieved in either dimension—by reducing the probability of disease or by reducing its severity.
