To say the least, the coronavirus pandemic has forced healthcare systems worldwide to step up their infection prevention and control efforts in order to reduce the spread of infections. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities have begun evaluating their preparedness levels, which confirmed that many facilities needed to make important changes to their infection prevention (IP) plans. COVID-19 has necessitated the implementation of standardized IP using innovative technologies that track and report data to improve personal and facility cleaning practices.
Touch-free technology like ultraviolet C light (UVC) can accurately calculate the precise dose of UVC light needed to kill up to 99.9 percent of harmful pathogens, including the common bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that infiltrate hospitals. As a touch-free solution, the UVC rays can also penetrate the microorganisms within every nook and corner of a room. Besides, UVC disinfection devices are easy-to-use, chemical-free, environment-friendly, and fit nicely into a layered or bundled approach to infection prevention, serving as a final line of defense. Real-time location systems (RTLS) are another technology that shows immense promise in providing immediate or real-time tracking and management of medical equipment, staff, and patients for contact tracing and electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems. Contact tracing with RTLS technology replaces using manually recorded data with more accurate and complete information garnered by these automated systems, which helps IP departments better understand outbreaks and maximize safety protocols. The use of tags further helps IP departments obtain records of location data sets and staff, patient, and equipment interaction to lead to better IP communications and responses.
