How to Cut Budgets and Improve Hospital Infection Control
The inadequate assessment of cleaning procedures within hospital environments is the biggest source of on-cost with lost opportunities to save money as well as improve infection control. ATP cleanliness monitoring equipment supplied by Hygiena International can provide a simple, low cost solution to driving down infection rates.
ATP bioluminescence is a simple rapid method for measuring for organic soil. It specifi cally measures adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the universal energy molecule present in all living things. The procedure requires a small hand held instrument and an all-in-one sample collection and testing device, these generating a numerical result in 15 seconds. This provides an objective yardstick and benchmark to describe and communicate levels of contamination and demonstrate what cleanliness really means. The use of ATP bioluminescence has the highest recommendation by the Rapid Review Panel of the Dept of Health and Public Health England in support of the fi ght against HCAI. The test is also recognised by the CDC in USA and is written into a standard for cleaning procedures in Denmark and Sweden. Earlier adopters such as North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust have shown a consistent and marked improvement in cleanliness and reduction in infection rates since its introduction in 2008. The results have shown a >20% improvement in pass rates and a large reduction in fail scores to fewer than 5% with a corresponding decrease of 35% in C. diffi cile cases and a 39% reduction in infections per 10,000 occupied bed days.
The Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust have obtained impressive results in their drive to continuously monitor cleaning processes, so helping them reach their target of a clean and safe hospital. Several departments and services at this establishment have been helped to achieve their aims by the utilisation of ATP cleanliness monitoring equipment as supplied by the Hygiena International. This equipment, SystemSURE Plus, is recognised as the world’s best-selling ATP hygiene monitoring system and it has associated software to store reports for up-to 5000 programmable test locations, together with the creation of charts, graphs and reports. The ATP test is also used in sterile services and endoscopy to replace the outdated protein test and to ensure the highest standards of cleaning are achieved. It is also used by dentists, ambulance and emergency vehicles, care homes and within the catering industry.
