A new analysis of the Benefits of Enhanced Terminal Room-Disinfection (BETR-D) study shows that enhanced disinfection using UVC leads to a reduction of microbial contamination and a decrease in patient colonization and infection. The new substudy, Enhanced disinfection leads to reduction of microbial contamination and a decrease in patient colonization

Evidence of the success of a bundled approach to HAI reduction can be seen in a recent paper from UNC Health Care. Using a multidisciplinary team to address diagnostic (testing) stewardship, isolation precautions, environmental cleaning and disinfection—including the use of UVC disinfection—antimicrobial stewardship and hand hygiene, over the course of

Clinically-validated UVC disinfection robot, Tru-D SmartUVC, will attend the 2018 VA Environmental Programs Service Training Event in Orlando, Florida, August 28-29, 2018. The conference will engage participants in a variety of management, leadership and operational issues and initiatives key to the success of an effective Environmental Management Services program. Validated by

Veterans risk their lives to protect our freedom, and they deserve the highest level of care while in a hospital setting. Just as important as handwashing, manual cleaning and antibiotic stewardship are to preventing hospital infections and keeping our veterans safe, so is disinfecting the room from top to bottom. Tru-D’s

Last week, we discussed the BETR-Disinfection study and its results. A new analysis proves that enhanced terminal room disinfection with Tru-D SmartUVC leads to a decrease in risk of acquisition of targeted multidrug-resistant organisms such as C. diff and VRE for all patients, hospital-wide. The study, Effectiveness of targeted enhanced
