IPC in Human Actions
P2P Program
EU-JAMRAI 2 is collaborating with EUCIC (The European Committee on Infection Control) in establishing a peer-to-peer (P2P) programme and in developing mentorship and observership activities.
Defining standards
A set of recommendations has been developed in collaboration with the ECDC. This output will form a key evidence base for the forthcoming EU Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines in Human Health, which are scheduled for publication in 2026.
EU-Framework
Infection case definitions of HAI in European Surveillance Systems: A review with the goal of identifying and analysing the Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) case definitions used in country-owned surveillance systems across Europe. Analysis of harmonisation with ECDC definitions and recommendations for a better benchmarking.
Parallel to this, a Self-Assessment System (SAS) is being developed in collaboration with EU-JAMRAI 2 partners and the WHO. The SAS will be used for assessing the degree of IPC core competencies at junior and senior level at local and national level in the healthcare facilities. The version 1.0. is planned to be piloted in partner countries winter 2025/2026. As a part of the work a survey on the use of SAS in the EU has been performed.
Implementation of core components
Tasks and actions to support Member States and Associated Countries in the implementation of IPC core components at national and local level in healthcare facilities.
Pilot projects
A pilot project template has been designed to reach a structured approach to IPC implementation projects. Followed by a shared repository of filled out project templates for inspiration and exchange of practices.
