IS YOUR HOSPITAL MAKING THE BEST USE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL AND INFECTION CONTROL SERVICES? 

Consider the direct costs of your cleaning services, as well as follow-on OH&S costs of staff injuries and the cost of care of patients with hospital acquired infections.
THE HEALTH ROUNDTABLE 100,000 DAY CAMPAIGN
Health Roundtable member hospitals treated 2.3 million patients in 2012/13.  Of these, approximately 48,000 experienced a hospital-acquired infection which extended their stay by 2 weeks, requiring an additional 815,000 days of care. It is estimated that 20-40% of infections are due to environmental factors that could be addressed by improved cleaning practices.
