The entire Tru-D SmartUVC team works to build strategic, robust disinfection programs that are tailored to address each facility's disinfection goals.
Over the next few weeks, we will be discussing tips for implementing a successful UVC disinfection program.
Prior to implementing a Tru-D UVC disinfection program, our team will schedule pre-implementation calls to help guide teams and stakeholders at facilities to focus on a specific microorganism and/or a specific area of the facility in which to launch their program.
Setting goals, assigning a champion and prioritizing UVC disinfection will assist in implementing a successful program. On these calls, your Tru-D SmartUVC team will discuss your disinfection goals, logistics of how to integrate the Tru-D device technology into workflow, SmartHUB or portal access, training dates and more.
Once pre-planning has occurred, it’s important to get buy-in from leadership and staff in order for a UVC disinfection program to be successful. All departments should work closely together to identify problem areas of the facility as well as microorganisms they would like to focus on.
Leadership often takes great ownership of the Tru-D units, and when operators walk in with a new device, it should not be the first time they are seeing a Tru-D device. Leadership needs the opportunity to see how the device works, ask questions and be able to understand the benefits, rather than seeing it as an obstacle.
If communication is made a priority among all stakeholders, a UVC disinfection program will have a much better chance of being successful.
Stay tuned for the next part of our series on implementing a successful UVC disinfection program.
