Environmental Services: Infection control and meeting regulations

More and more State Governments are passing laws on hospital cleaning requirements and facility infection rates in the outpatient settings. Consumers of healthcare are demanding improved hospital cleaning when receiving patient care in all healthcare settings.

We understand the critical nature of healthcare surface disinfection and assisting in preventing HAI’s. The Jani-King healthcare cleaning and environmental services program ensures proper disinfecting and best practices that exceed the toughest healthcare cleaning standards and regulations.

We specialize in medical cleaning services for:

Hospitals
Outpatient facilities
Medical office buildings
Surgery centers

Jani-King’s Healthcare Cleaning program is based on the best practices from organizations including the Association for the Healthcare Environment (AHE), Association for Professionals in Infection Prevention (APIC), Association of peri Operative Registered Nurses (AORN), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Quick Healthcare Tip:

How To Cleaning Spills of Blood and Body Substances

A. Promptly clean and decontaminate spills of blood or other potentially infectious materials
B. Follow proper procedures for site decontamination of spills of blood or blood-containing body fluids
1. Use protective gloves and other PPE appropriate for this task
2. If the spill contains large amounts of blood or body fluids, clean the visible matter with disposable absorbent material, and discard the used cleaning materials in appropriate, labeled containers
3. Apply the disinfectant with the proper wipe making sure there is enough disinfectant, and allow the surface to air dry
C. Use disinfectants registered by the EPA for use as hospital disinfectants and labeled tuberculocidal or registered germicides on the EPA Lists D and E (i.e., products with specific label claims for HIV or hepatitis B virus [HBV]) in accordance with label instructions to decontaminate spills of blood and other body fluids

Operating Room Cleaning

You might not think about it all the time, but your SKIN has a pretty important job:

Because germs and pathogens are EVERYWHERE.

They’re in the air; and on the surfaces we touch.

And just like a building has walls to keep the outside… OUTSIDE,

Your skin’s natural barrier is one of the things that stops those germs and pathogens from getting INSIDE your body…

…along with proper hand hygiene.

That’s why it’s so important to keep operating rooms clean and disinfected.

Whenever a patient’s skin is opened up in the O.R., there’s a HOLE in that natural barrier.

Did You Know?

Medical facilities such as hospitals and surgery centers can be made sick by the very patients they are treating. Just as you have lungs, so does a medical facility. Meaning, for every major system that you have in your body a medical facility has a similar type structure.

This quick, explainer video perfectly describes how a medical facility is a living, breathing ecosystem and how the community along with environmental service technicians help keep medical facilities healthy.
