IPC360 and WHO

IPC360 implements a methodology based on the WHO IPCAF; it is not a WHO product and is not certified or endorsed by WHO.

The WHO Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework is published by the World Health Organization as a self-assessment instrument. IPC360 implements that instrument: the same components, indicators, scoring and interpretation bands.

IPC360 itself is a product of MAUK Solutions. It is not a WHO product, is not certified by WHO, is not accredited by WHO, and is not endorsed by WHO. Any statement to the contrary would be wrong, and this wording appears on every report for that reason.

Note: If you are asked whether an IPC360 report is a WHO certification, the answer is no, it is a self-assessment against the WHO framework.

The WHO IPCAF-based methodologyIPC360 follows the WHO Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework: eight core components, 81 indicators, scored out of 800 and interpreted against four published levels.
What the score does not meanThe score is not a certification, not an accreditation, and not a statement that a hospital is clinically safe.
