Western Australia's Health Support Services (HSS) agency has issued a tender for an infection prevention and control (IPAC) system to support the surveillance of infectious diseases across multiples healthcare sites in the WA health system.

The proposed solution must consist of a robust data capturing system that will allow for timely management of patients with healthcare-associated infections (HAI); tracking and monitoring of outbreaks and exposures to infectious diseases in the hospital setting; and the provision of valid and reliable data at the local and state levels to monitor trends and the effectiveness of interventions.
