Infection prevention and control is fundamental to promoting optimum patient safety in acute healthcare facilities.
Recent studies demonstrated environmental surfaces have been show to play a role in the transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens. This occurs either via direct transmission or through contaminated hands of healthcare personnel.
Multiple studies have shown that high-touch surfaces, such as bed rails, over bed tables, and other surfaces in the near patient environment, play a role in the transmission of pathogens to susceptible patients. Annually, it is estimated that 1.7 million patients in the US acquire a Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI), resulting in increased hospitalizations, longer stay, 99,000 deaths, and additional costs of up to $40 billion.
Diversey Care's Infection Prevention Program consisting of VeriClean™, an evidence-based approach to improve the cleaning and disinfection of high touch surfaces, OxivirTb®, a TGA registered one step Hospital Grade Disinfectant Cleaner with Accelerated Hydrogen peroxide technology and Jonmaster microfibre cleaning system - three innovations from Diversey Care to help Healthcare facilities deliver improved cleaning outcomes and reduce the risk of the environment in the transmission of HAIs.
