Surfaces harbor pathogens. High-touch surface cleanliness is a critical patient-centered wellness factor. These surfaces must be identified and matched up with effective but user-friendly protocols. They must be cleaned often by everybody, not just housekeeping. Clean-as-you-go is the protocol of choice.
Cleaned or not? A simple marking with an invisible ultra-violet ink, monitored with a uv disclosure light, provides the supervisor with data to reward success or discipline under achievement.
Rapid measurement technology can reduce hand-contamination by providing instant feedback on surface cleaning effectiveness. Cleaner surfaces promote cleaner hands and patient or resident wellness. Rapid feedback to staff defines success and stimulates training.
Timely availability of specialized expertise offers healthcare providers flexibility in staffing for success and continuous improvement.
