on the areas that are problematic, where infection transfer occurs, we can target specifi c areas where we consistently treat the air versus having to redo entire venti- lations systems.”
PICC Excellence’s Moureau added, “It is very easy to look to the use of antimicrobial products and sterile gloves or procedures to reduce infection and provide safety. Rather than accepting the sales message of product, cost accountability is achieved through value analysis and investigation of the root causes. Often education, while also a cost, results in improved outcomes and cost savings. Understanding when to perform low-level disinfection versus high-level disinfection, with more costly equipment, solutions and more time, will, in the long run, provide greater savings by doing it the most effi cient way, rather than the easy way of adding a new product.” She continued, “Careful consideration
is needed to be both suffi cient and effi - cient with our practices so that money is not squandered on unnecessary prod- ucts or practices. Cost savings are gained
with percutaneous procedures of ultra- sound-guided peripheral catheter inser- tions using low-level wipes, or even the less expensive high-level disinfecting foams for disinfection of the device before and after the procedure, and instituting most of all, education with accountability through observation of practices.” GOJO’s Rosenthal noted, “It’s under- standable that in today’s environment, all healthcare facilities are watching expenses and trying to drive cost out where they can. But driving for the lowest price solution doesn’t always result in lower overall costs, especially if what you’re trading off is an increase in healthcare-associated infections or CMS reimbursement penalties.” She added, “What’s important for those in purchasing roles to know is that health- care hand sanitizers are OTC drug products that are required by the FDA to meet spe- cifi c effi cacy targets with multiple uses. But not all hand sanitizers are created equally, as many learned during the pandemic. In the case of hand hygiene, cost per ounce or cost per use depends completely on
how much of that product a healthcare worker must use to get the effi cacy that the product is claiming. Savvy purchasers are aware of this and work closely with their IP colleagues to make sure products are evaluated accurately based on the data shared by each manufacturer.” MD-Medical Data’s Lee summed up, “Obviously cost is an important factor when it comes to improving and sustain- ing high quality and safety. I would ask IPs to become familiar with presenting the fi nancial and clinical value proposition to Administration. If they don’t feel comfort- able doing this, ask for help. The invest- ment that an acute care site might make into a several technologies should be bal- anced against the savings associated with cost of infection. A technological approach can save 50% to 75% on cost of infection. The ROI is substantial. One hospital system in Florida was going to spend $100 million over the next fi ve years, and none of this was reimbursable. To summarize, the right technologies save lives, save money and are safer for staff and patients.” HPN
