The VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) template, VHA ICRA-1.3 (December 2024), provides minimum requirements for categorizing construction, renovation, and maintenance activities within VHA facilities to prevent infection risks. It outlines a four-step process: identifying the activity category (A, B, C, or D) from Table 1, assessing affected areas using Table 2, determining the overall patient risk category (Low, Medium, High, or Highest) from Table 3, and finally, matching these to determine the required level of infection prevention and control precautions (I, II, III, or IV) from Table 4. The document then details the specific control measures for each precaution level in Table 5, which must be implemented before and during the activity, and outlines post-completion measures in Table 6. An infection prevention and control permit, provided on the last page, is required for Level III and Level IV activities. Appendix A offers an alternative to outdoor exhaust requirements for interior construction spaces, outlining specific procedures for HEPA filtration, air sampling, and pressure monitoring. This comprehensive guide ensures facility modifications prioritize patient and employee safety by mitigating infection hazards.
