Pillars / Pillar 05
UTIs, respiratory infections, skin and gastro — the everyday infections that quietly drive antibiotic use and hospital transfers. IPS helps your team recognise them early, respond correctly and avoid the common traps.
A handful of infections account for most illness, antibiotics and transfers in aged care.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria, dipstick over-testing and over-treatment are common — and preventable.
Spotting the signs early keeps residents well and out of hospital.
