Kiss Guide to Vaccine Management

Risk Management Planning Guide
The objective of the planning guide is to identify potential cold chain problems and their causes that are most likely to impact on the practice before they occur. It involves considering whether the identified causes can be eliminated or their likelihood reduced, and whether the impact of the problem can be minimised should it occur. It also involves developing a management plan in the event that the problem occurs.

This guide will help practices develop plans for preventing, minimising the impact and/or managing cold chain problems using the “Plan of action template for cold chain risk management” has been developed.  Once completed, the plan of action can be incorporated into the practice/clinic policy and procedure documents.

Practices can also use the planning framework to trouble shoot cold chain problems and quality review problems that have occurred.
