UVDI Always Innovate
The AHE is a professional association representing over 2,300 professionals caring for the healthcare environment. The organization is affiliated with the American Hospital Association and offers education, professional development and advocacy, and information and resources about new technologies, equipment, operations and procedures to its members.
One of the hot topics at this year’s event is how healthcare professionals can help prevent healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The costs and risks associated with HAIs are enormous, in fact the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states, “Approximately 1 out of every 20 hospitalized patients will contract an HAI.”
“The CDC estimates that there are approximately 1.7 million HAIs contracted annually in the U.S. which adds over $30 billion medical costs each year,” reported Richard Hayes, President of UltraViolet Devices, Inc. “UV disinfection products developed by UVDI provide healthcare professionals with new tools to combat these HAIs. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a proven method of surface and air disinfection and has been used safely for many years in a number of industries. UVDI has applied its 20 years of industry leading UV disinfection experience to provide the healthcare sector with new tools to mitigate surface transmitted pathogens such as MRSA and C. diff,” he continued.
