Quick Answer
ICRA software, short for infection control risk assessment software, helps healthcare facilities control the infection risk created by construction, renovation, maintenance, and demolition work in or near patient care areas. InspectWrk keeps each project's ICRA assessment, precautions, permit approvals, monitoring rounds, findings, and handover checks in one record, so infection prevention, facilities, and contractors work from the same plan on every project.

What Is ICRA Software, and How Do Healthcare Facilities Use It to Control Infection Risk During Construction?
In many hospitals the ICRA workflow still runs on paper. An assessment is signed at the pre-construction meeting, a permit is taped to the barrier, and approvals move by email. Once work starts, nobody checks the barriers, pressure, or dust controls again until dust reaches a patient area. When a surveyor asks what was in place, the evidence is scattered across folders.
Before and After InspectWrk
What changes once icra software runs on one mobile-first platform.
Before InspectWrk
- Each project manager fills in the ICRA form differently.
- The permit is signed at a meeting, or not at all.
- Barriers, pressure, and dust controls are agreed on paper, then nobody checks them again until something goes wrong.
- A damaged barrier is mentioned to the site supervisor.
- When a surveyor or incident review asks what was in place, the team searches binders, email, and contractor folders.
After InspectWrk
- Every project runs the same assessment built from your facility's ICRA method, so the work type, location, patient risk groups, and precaution…
- The permit routes to infection prevention and facilities for sign-off, and the project shows as not approved until every required signature is…
- The approved precautions become scheduled monitoring rounds with photos, so barriers, pressure readings, and dust controls are checked for the whole project.
- Each breach becomes a finding with an owner and due date, serious issues escalate to infection prevention straight away, and closure needs…
- The assessment, permit approvals, rounds, findings, and handover checks export as one dated record per project.
How Does an ICRA Run from Pre-Construction Assessment to Handover?
Infection prevention, facilities, and project teams follow the same loop for every construction, renovation, and maintenance project.
- 1
Record the Project and Assess the Risk
Capture the scope, location, type and extent of work, and the patient risk groups in and around the area. Set the class of precautions using your facility's ICRA method.
- 2
Route the Permit for Approval
The ICRA approval workflow sends the permit to infection prevention, facilities, and the project lead for sign-off. Work shows as not approved until every required signature is recorded.
- 3
Brief Contractors and Post Notices
Share the approved precautions with the contractor team, record who was briefed, and confirm signage, detours, and notifications to affected departments are in place.
- 4
Monitor Precautions on Scheduled Rounds
Inspectors check barriers, seals, negative pressure readings, dust control, and cleanliness on rounds set by your policy, with photos. Rounds work offline and sync later.
- 5
Fix Findings and Hand the Area Back
Breaches become actions with owners, serious ones escalate straight away, and final checks confirm cleaning and barrier removal before the area returns to patient use.
What ICRA Software Covers in InspectWrk
The platform covers infection control for construction, renovation, maintenance, and demolition work in or near patient care areas, from the pre-construction assessment to handover. Your facility's ICRA method defines the classes and precautions; InspectWrk makes sure they are approved, followed, and documented.
What Gets Checked
- Project scope, location, and type and extent of work
- Patient risk groups in and around the work area
- Precaution class set by the facility's ICRA method
- Permit approvals from infection prevention and facilities
- Barriers, seals, and negative pressure where required
- Dust control, cleanliness, and debris removal
- Handover cleaning and barrier removal checks
Common Defects It Surfaces
- Work started before the permit was approved
- Maintenance work never assessed because it was not labeled construction
- Barrier damaged or unsealed with no one checking
- Pressure not maintained where the precaution class requires it
- Scope changed without a new assessment
- Area returned to patient use without final cleaning checks
Evidence Captured
- Approved assessment with precaution class and reasoning
- Permit sign-offs with names and dates
- Contractor briefing records
- Monitoring round photos and pressure readings
- Breach findings with owners, dates, and closure evidence
- Handover checks per project

Frequently Asked Questions About ICRA Software
What is ICRA software, and what does it manage?
ICRA software manages the infection control risk assessment process for construction, renovation, maintenance, and demolition work in healthcare facilities. InspectWrk records each project's scope, location, and patient risk groups, sets the precaution class by your facility's method, routes the permit for approval, and turns the precautions into containment monitoring rounds. Breaches become tracked findings, and final checks confirm the area is safe to hand back. Every active project sits on one dashboard, so infection prevention and facilities see the same picture at the same time.
How is ICRA software different from an ICRA app or an ICRA checklist?
An ICRA checklist is the set of questions used to complete one assessment. An ICRA app is the mobile tool an inspector uses to run that assessment and the barrier rounds on site. ICRA software is the wider system around them: every project across your sites, permit approvals, contractor briefings, reassessment when scope changes, a dashboard of risk across projects, and the documentation surveyors ask for. InspectWrk provides all three, and they share one record, so a round completed in the app appears in the project's ICRA history and on the infection prevention dashboard.
Is InspectWrk ASHE ICRA 2.0 software?
InspectWrk is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by ASHE, and it does not ship the official ICRA 2.0 toolkit. What teams usually need is ICRA software to run the ICRA 2.0 process consistently, and that is what InspectWrk supports. Your facility builds its assessment and permit templates from the ICRA 2.0 method it has adopted, including its own classes and precautions, and the platform makes sure every project follows them. If your facility uses a different or locally adapted ICRA method, the same approach applies.
How does the ICRA permit and approval workflow work?
When a project is assessed, InspectWrk creates the infection control construction permit and routes it to the required approvers, typically infection prevention, facilities, and the project lead. Each sign-off is recorded with a name and date. Until every approval is in, the project shows as not approved, so contractors and supervisors can see that work must not start. The paper permit taped to the barrier becomes a live permit anyone on the project can check from a phone. Changes to scope or location send the permit back for reapproval rather than being agreed verbally.
How is an infection control construction risk assessment kept current during the project?
Projects change. A corridor closure extends, work moves into a new zone, or the patient population next door changes. In InspectWrk, any change to scope, location, or duration prompts a new ICRA risk assessment and fresh approval before the work continues. Meanwhile, scheduled rounds check that the approved precautions are still in place, and missed rounds are flagged to infection prevention. The assessment stays live for the whole project rather than being a one-time form completed before work begins. Each reassessment is kept alongside the original, so the project history shows how the precautions changed and who approved each version.
Does ICRA software make a construction project compliant?
No software makes a project compliant on its own. Decisions about the precaution class, when to stop work, and when an area can reopen stay with your qualified infection prevention and facilities staff under your own policies. What InspectWrk provides is consistent ICRA documentation: the assessment, permit approvals, contractor briefings, rounds, findings, and handover checks for each project, dated and linked. That is the record surveyors, environment of care committees, and incident reviews ask to see, and it is ready without searching binders.
