Transmission of Pathogens Throughout Healthcare Facilities - May 3, 2016

As one of the leading causes of death in the United States, healthcare associated infections are a top priority for infection control in healthcare facilities. However, the rate of infectious pathogens and bacteria still continues to increase. By understanding how infections spread, healthcare facilities can directly focus on ways to improve infection control practices to reduce contamination.  

With greater knowledge on infection transmission and updated technology, such as no-touch technology and UVC disinfection, facilities can implement these extra tools to address the problem of contamination. UVC Cleaning Systems adds an extra layer of disinfection so difficult to remove bacteria are eradicated quickly and efficiently.
