Transforming Global Healthcare: Empowering Quality and Safety 🌍🏥 In this great short clip, the world-renowned Pierre PARNEIX explains the groundbreaking Healthcare Environmental Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework (HEHSAF). Designed to enhance healthcare quality worldwide for a safer patient environment, this tool helps healthcare facilities identify areas for improvement in their environmental hygiene programs. 🌱💡 Healthcare environmental hygiene is increasingly recognized as critical in infection prevention and control (IPC). This tool has been developed and internationally validated to help healthcare facilities identify areas for improvement, benchmark progress, and ensure a cleaner, safer environment for patients and staff. This marks the first time that a global snapshot of healthcare environmental hygiene programs is being attempted. With input from over 100 infection prevention experts around the world, HEHSAF offers a reliable, expert-driven solution to improve patient safety and healthcare standards worldwide. 🌍 Learn more about HEHSAF here: https://lnkd.in/eNnDMEC2 By sharing this video, you can become part of this global initiative to help save lives. Like, comment, and repost to spread awareness of the Healthcare Environmental Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework (HEHSAF) and contribute to creating safer healthcare environments worldwide. Together, we can make a healthier, safer world. 💚🙌 #PatientSafety #RateMyHEH #CleanHospitals #HealthInnovation #InfectionPrevention #PatientCare #HealthAwareness

HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE NETWORK
Info
The Clean Hospitals Association is a global healthcare environmental hygiene network. We are a coalition of international stakeholders, from academia, governmental bodies, NGOs, healthcare and industry. Clean Hospitals is committed to making sure that standards for environmental hygiene are raised around the world, regardless of resource level or geographical location. We work to raise awareness about the importance of environmental hygiene, conduct academic research, provide training, and develop tools to foster measurable improvements on a global level. We aim to use the knowledge and momentum generated by our research and working groups to raise industry standards and increase the visibility of the hospital environment in patient care. The purpose of the initiative is to increase patient safety and bring international attention to the need for an increased focus on hospital environmental hygiene. Although the hospital environment tends to be one of the most understudied and underfunded areas in healthcare, there is enough literature in the field to prove that a well-maintained patient environment is crucial for preventing the spread of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance. Beyond patients, hospital environment hygiene also has a direct impact on the lives of the people working in the hospitals, as well as a broader impact on communities and the environment. These improvements in hospital environmental hygiene will benefit public health by lowering rates of healthcare-associated infections, reducing antimicrobial resistance, and protecting hospital staff as well as the larger environment.

🌍 The Core of Clean Hospitals: A Message from Professor Didier Pittet 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eynKPRvB 💡 Did you know that healthcare-associated infections claim 16 million lives annually—more than tuberculosis and malaria combined? The numbers are staggering, but there is hope. In this inspiring video, Professor Didier Pittet, the visionary behind the WHO’s "Clean Care is Safer Care" and the driving force of the Clean Hospitals initiative, shares the critical role of healthcare environmental hygiene in saving lives. From cleaning floors and instruments to operating theatres, Professor Pittet explains how evidence-based practices and collaborative efforts between scientists and frontline staff are key to reducing infections and combating antimicrobial resistance. This is not just about science; it’s about real impact. It's about uniting researchers and those working on the front lines to create safer, cleaner healthcare environments for everyone. Let’s keep this conversation going. What are your thoughts on the importance of healthcare environmental hygiene?
