ABOUT QARACHATANI
I am an Infection Prevention and Control Specialist with over 10 years of experience. I excel at developing and implementing comprehensive infection prevention programs. Over the past three years, I successfully managed IPAC programs at Southbridge Care Homes, Extendicare, and Rekai Centres, reducing infection rates by 50% through robust measures. I also developed and delivered training sessions to enhance staff awareness of best practices, increase hand hygiene compliance from 75% to 90%, improve PPE donning and doffing from 80% to 92%, and increase vaccine acceptance from 50% to 80% in 2025. My work with the Canadian Red Cross ensured effective risk stratification and adherence to safety protocols during COVID-19 vaccination efforts. I am skilled in leading infection surveillance, conducting risk assessments, and updating IPAC policies. I have a proven ability to improve compliance and resident safety. Let me help you build a safer healthcare environment.
