A new study is focusing on the disinfection of mobile devices in healthcare facilities, according to an article on the Health Facilities Magazine.
Facilities need to make sure these traveling surfaces are cleaned properly, the article said.
The presence of mobile devices in hospitals is not limited to clinician use. Environmental services managers and facility professionals are using smartphones and tablets to monitor hand hygiene, communicate tasks, and log daily housekeeping and room turnovers.
Not only are mobile devices high-touch objects, they also travel throughout a facility and sometimes outside of the facility.
