Infection Control
Among the many concerns of an Infection Control department, coordinating with Environmental Services to maintain a clean hospital is critical to preventing healthcare acquired infections. So how do busy managers ensure that cleaning standards are upheld while keeping a tight budget and managing a growing workload? Objective measurement of surface cleanliness using ATP cleaning verification provides on-the-spot feedback on cleaning effectiveness. Now Infection Control personnel can know how cleaning staff are performing, quantify cleanliness in the healthcare environment, set goals for improvement, and keep everyone cleaning to the same, measurable standard.
