Nonetheless,
according to a report released by non-profit hospital watchdog The
Leapfrog Group, not all hospitals surveyed have implemented all the
safe practices and policies recommended for proper hand hygiene.
Many hospital-acquired infections are caused by the contaminated hands
of healthcare staff. Handhelds and other devices create new concerns
about infection transmission, highlighting the importance of keeping
staff handhelds away from patient surfaces (such as overbed tables) with intelligent spatial planning and convenient hand-washing solutions.
The
healtHcentric Utility Shelf™ is a simple, affordable and convenient
solution for hospital staff to use as a multi‑purpose touch down
surface either in or outside patient rooms.
Designed in collaboration with an acute care hospital, this foldable
shelf when used in combination with a hand sanitizer creates the
perfect hand sanitizing station and is ideal space in patient rooms,
hallways and laboratories for staff to place belongings, participate in
hand hygiene and to communicate with one another — with infection
control in mind.
