Every year hundreds of thousands of patients enter hospitals and healthcare facilities for one health problem only to contract a healthcare-associated infection while receiving treatment.
Infection Prevention and High Level Disinfection for Healthcare
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose significant risks to patients, leading to lifelong health problems and, in severe cases, even death. In response to recent legislation mandating the reduction of HAIs, hospitals and healthcare facilities are adopting more stringent infection prevention practices. GermBlast, the industry’s leading disinfection and infection prevention company and consultant based in Texas, offers specialized hospital and medical disinfection services aimed at combating HAIs effectively.
Our Approach to Healthcare Disinfection
GermBlast's comprehensive disinfection services for healthcare facilities encompass both environmental disinfection and equipment sanitation. Our GermBlast disinfection service targets critical environments within healthcare facilities, ensuring the elimination of harmful pathogens that can lead to HAIs. Additionally, our GermBlast Wash® offers specialized equipment sanitation (effectively killing 99.999% of pathogens) and is designed to combat harmful microorganisms on mobile, non-electric apparatus, such as stretchers, wheelchairs, and IV poles for up to 90 days, further reducing the risk of contamination.
Beyond Disinfection
Our commitment to fighting HAIs extends beyond the initial treatment. GermBlast provides ongoing support to healthcare facilities, empowering them to maintain infection control measures effectively. This includes comprehensive training for Environmental Services (EVS) staff, available through both live sessions and E-learning modules. We also offer consultation services and stakeholder awareness campaigns to reinforce best practices in infection prevention.
