There are a number of different best practices and technologies healthcare facility managers use to help help battle infections, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Changing the placement and display of personal protective equipment or preparing your facility to accommodate new and underutilized technologies such as automated bedpan washers can make a difference.
Facility managers should be familiar with the current data, guidelines and tools available to them.
