ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANING A KEY
FACTOR IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HAI’S

An IPAC cleaning program must target surfaces based on their risk profile and level of soil or dirt. Duties should be performed in the most effective order to reduce the spread of infectious agents throughout the facility, and should be divided according to risk management, usually with an emphasis on surface disinfection.

The World Health Organization recognizes HAI’s as infections occuring in a patient during the process of care in a health facility that were not present or incubating at the time of admission. Many factors lead to increased risk of developing an HAI such as advanced age, underlying illness, the emergence of diseases such as MRSA, C. difficile, Covid-19, complex treatment modalities, and the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

In a recent survey, we asked our customers what was most important to them in their work environment. An answer that came up again-and-again ~ cleanliness! Our customers share the opinion that health facilities deserve a more detailed cleaning and disinfection process than most other workplaces. WIth the help of our customers, we have developed a comprehensive environmental cleaning system that can be shared not only in healthcare, but throughout various industries.

    health associated infections

    dissecting the solution

    Each year in Canada, more than 220,000 Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI’s) result in 8,500-12,000 deaths and/or illnesses. Since 2011, over 13% of health clinics inspected in Ontario have either failed to meet cleaning, disinfecting, and/or sanitizing requirements, or have been given warnings for improvement, some clinics have been forced to close their doors until a safe standard of cleanliness has been established.

    Some of the factors helping to improve some rates of health associated infections has been improvements in infection control measures, improved testing and monitoring, more judicious use of antibiotics, more frequent hand washing, and more frequent and intense cleaning of health facilities.

     

    RATES OF C.diffifficile TRENDING DOWNWARD

    Clostridium diffificile is one of the most common HAI’s in Canada. It has shown to last on surfaces for up to 4-5 months at a time, and produces a toxin which causes inflammation of the colon. This microbe also creates difficult-to-eradicate spores, which can contaminate surfaces and spread from room-to-room in health facilities. Recent efforts in improving cleaning & disinfection methods have lead to decreased average HAI rates.

     

     

     

     

     

    SURVEILLANCE IMPROVEMENTS CAUSE RISE IN MRSA RATES

     

     

    Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium found on the skin and in the nose of many healthy people and can become resistant to most antibiotics. It can cause many types of infections including wound and surgical site infections, bloodstream infections and pneumonia. Many actions are taken at the health facility level to help combat the spread of MRSA, and one of the most important elements is professional cleaning and disinfection services.

    In recent years, changes to business economics have led to more shared work space concepts. Developers are building more creative & collaborative work spaces. Workflows have changed from 9-5 to 24/7 with an emphasis on workplace health & safety.
