An Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) lapse is a departure from infection prevention and control standards that could result in infectious disease transmission through exposure to blood or bodily fluids.
IPAC lapses can occur at routinely inspected personal service settings (e.g., nail salons, tattoo, or piercing studios) and settings not routinely inspected by public health including regulated health professional settings (e.g., Physician or nurse practitioner, dental, or physiotherapy clinics).
IPAC lapses are disclosed to the public in accordance with the provincial Infection Prevention and Control Complaint Disclosure Protocol.
KFL&A Public Health reports on premises where an infection prevention and control lapse was identified through the assessment of a complaint or referral, or through communicable disease surveillance. It does not include reports of premises which were investigated following a complaint or referral where no infection prevention and control lapse was ultimately identified.
These reports are not exhaustive, and do not guarantee that those premises listed and not listed are free of infection prevention and control lapses. Identification of lapses is based on assessment and investigation of premises at a point-in-time, and these assessments and investigations are triggered when potential infection prevention and control lapses are brought to the attention of our medical officer of health.
Reports will be posted for a period of two (2) years, on a premises-by-premises basis.
To view a full investigation report for any posted lapse, please call 613-549-1232, ext. 4722 or email our IPAC team.
