Policy Hub (NZ)

Never write an infection prevention policy from scratch again. IPS Policy Hub gives Aotearoa New Zealand aged residential care a library of 42 evidence-anchored IPC master policies — browse, adopt, and download co-branded PDFs with your service's logo. Certification-ready, without building them from the ground up.

Most services still keep IPC policies in shared drives, ageing PDFs, or templates copied from acute care. When certification review comes around, your team spends hours hunting for the current version instead of running the home. Policy Hub gives you one trusted source of truth.

How it works

1. Browse the library and search by topic — hand hygiene, outbreaks, cleaning, wound care and more.
2. Adopt the policies your service needs into your own My Policies list.
3. Set your facility profile once — logo, IPC Lead, approver and local contacts.
4. Download co-branded PDFs with your branding, references and sign-off blocks, ready for your certification folder.

Locked where it matters. Yours where it should be.

Every policy separates locked clinical bedrock — anchored to Te Whatu Ora and Health Quality & Safety Commission (HQSC) guidance — from tailorable operational detail such as your local contacts, products, roles and appendices, set once in your facility profile. Your IPC Lead doesn't rewrite the science, and assessors can follow a clear evidence trail. Each policy carries an author, peer reviewer, sign-off and change log.

Aligned to Ngā Paerewa

Policies are mapped to NZS 8134:2021 Ngā Paerewa, the Health and Disability Services Standard, and written at aged residential care altitude — home-like, not hospital copy-paste. The library includes whānau-centred IPC care and cultural safety policies for Māori residents.

What's inside

42 policies IPC Leads reach for first, including:

• IPC Programme & IPC Lead Role
• Hand Hygiene & Standard Precautions
• Outbreak Management
• Environmental Cleaning
• Antimicrobial Stewardship
• IPC Risk Assessment
• Whānau-centred IPC Care and cultural safety for Māori residents

Plus wound care, medication administration, kitchen, laundry, respiratory viruses, MDRO management and more.

Who it's for

IPC Leads, clinical and quality managers, and care executives who have to find, use and stand behind their policies every day.
