An infection prevention and control committee is developing an agenda for its next meeting.

In the Patient Safety domain, NAHQ emphasizes that committees responsible for infection prevention must prioritize data-driven risks to patient safety. An increase in infection rates represents an immediate threat requiring analysis, intervention, and monitoring.

While reviewing procedures, onboarding staff, and approving minutes are important governance activities, they do not address urgent patient harm risks. NAHQ guidance consistently prioritizes emerging trends, outbreaks, or performance deterioration over routine administrative tasks. Therefore, Option C is the highest-priority agenda item.
