Outpatient Care Centers, HAIs & Environmental Cleaning Discussed in New Video

PHOENIX - Feb. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video.  Their newest production discusses outpatient care centers, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and environmental cleaning.

Over the past several decades, Americans have witnessed a significant shift in healthcare delivery from the acute, inpatient hospital setting to a variety of ambulatory and community-based settings.   This care is often provided in hospital-based outpatient clinics, nonhospital-based clinics and physician offices, ambulatory surgical centers and many other specialized settings.

Infection prevention must be made a priority in any setting where healthcare is delivered to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) caused by various bacteria, fungi and viruses.   A key component to this is environmental cleaning.

“Outpatient care facilities should establish policies and procedures for routine cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces,”reports Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.  “Special attention during cleaning and disinfection should be placed on surfaces that are most likely to become contaminated with pathogens.  We hope this video helps to shed some light on these important health and safety topics.”

This educational video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that help to protect the public’s health. Sponsors include: EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Mold Solutions & FastMoldRemoval.com, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental and Healthy Indoors magazine to name a few.
