Maintaining a clean environment in a medical facility is critical. A clean facility reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) for patients and ensures a safe and healthy work environment for your staff.
A clean medical facility also frequently has higher ratings, which can lead to more business and higher profitability.
Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s never been more important to find medical cleaning services that are committed to following the proper techniques to keep the spread of infection low in your facility. Cleaning for health means way more than ensuring the windows are streak-free and the floors are swept and mopped; it’s about preventing illness and reducing the transmission of infectious diseases.
This kind of cleaning can have a positive impact that extends far beyond enjoying sparkling clean floors, patient rooms and exam rooms. What we’re discovering is that the additional health precautions medical cleaning services like CSG are taking to keep illness like COVID-19 at bay are promoting health and wellness in patients.
Take, for example, these newborns and their mothers, who are benefitting from the additional safety measures put in place by select cleaning services to prevent the risk of infection or COVID-19 spread in the facility. They have lower infection rates; shorter hospital stays and better recovery thanks to these important protocols.
In short, the healthcare cleaning service you choose matters to you, and it matters to your patients as well.
YCI is dedicated providing medical cleaning services that match the caliber of expert care you deliver to all your patients. To accomplish this, all our medical cleaning services are performed with meticulous precision and impeccable attention to detail.
We even use a color-coded cleaning system to prevent cross-contamination between areas of your building. This means we will never use the same microfiber cloths, mops or buckets to clean the bathrooms that we do to clean the lobby or medical exam rooms. We use this technique and countless other similar measures to promote wellness and prevent the spread of infection or transfer of dangerous bacteria throughout your healthcare facility.
Medical cleaning isn’t like cleaning a house, restaurant or office building. Medical facility cleaning services must work diligently to meet these standards or risk contributing to the spread of infection. There are all kinds of regulations to follow and protocols to observe, and we understand the unique challenges that accompany medical cleaning services, including:
• Staff safety, including mitigating the spread of infection, properly handling bloodborne pathogens and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the proper cleaning methods to disinfect and sanitize your facility.
• Meeting strict regulations, including rules set forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Association of perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
• Cleaning with patient privacy and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in mind.
• Cleaning with security and theft mitigation in mind.
