Why Properly cleaning healthcare facilities are so important.

09 Jul 2020 5:49 PM | Anonymous

Health Care facilities being properly cleaned is critical to staff and patients. Properly cleaning healthcare facilities are important because the U.S center for Disease Control and Prevention states that there are nearly 1.7 million cases of Health Care Associated Infections. 1/20 people who end up in the hospital will contract a health care associated infection.

Cleaning of health care facilities are mainly performed for medical reasons. There are at risk patients. The people who are responsible for properly cleaning healthcare facilities should practice proper hand hygiene. They should also be knowledgeable of proper cleaning and disinfecting techniques for the environment they work in. Education and training of those who work in a healthcare facility will increase compliance and will reduce the cases of HAIs. OSHA maintains strict cleaning standards for all healthcare facilities. When cleaning properly infections and even death can be prevented.
