Cleaning and Disinfection: Is There Room for Improvement? With antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on the rise, cleaning and disinfection remain critical tools in the fight against infection. But are we truly using them as effectively as we should? From understanding pathogenic microbes to tackling the pitfalls of ineffective disinfection practices, it's time to assess and improve our approach. Key areas include updating protocols, targeted training, and fostering behavior change to ensure we don’t unintentionally strengthen harmful microorganisms. Let’s prioritize hygienically safe over just visibly clean! 📖 Read more to discover how professional cleaning can adapt to these challenges: https://lnkd.in/dnBrM2uB #InfectionControl #CleaningStandards #AMR #Disinfection #HygieneMatters

It’s nothing new that airborne contamination poses major risks to patients and staff alike in a healthcare setting, but the size of individual particles in the air makes a big difference in the way that you will want to address them. While some particles are large enough to get caught in a standard air filter, others are invisible to the naked eye and can only be captured through the use of specialized medical-grade filters. Are you confident in your understanding of micron size and what it means for your infection control and IAQ efforts? Use this guide as a refresher to help you provide your facility with the highest level of safety. Discover what makes micron size so important. ⬇️ https://hubs.li/Q02SpHMr0 #hepafiltration #airquality #infectioncontrol
