Aligning with Infection Control

CANN Circle Images InfectionPreventionist WebResAfter elaborating on what infection preventionists could expect in 2021 Saskia v. Popescu, PhD, MPH, MA, CIC concluded with, “2021 will hopefully mean looking more at healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and returning to a sense of normality, but it’s important that we don’t return to a pre-COVID “normal” as that’s what got us into much of this mess.”

Daniels Health emphatically agrees.

While there are numerous avenues for improvement of infection control in healthcare going forward, this is how Daniels Health will drive positive change:

  • Advocating for clinically-differentiated containers that provide hands-free disposal and reduce overall touches
  • Educating clinical staff on the many ways healthcare waste management strategy impacts infection control
  • Championing bagless, reusable containers that require no assembly and eliminate hand-tying of bags

The weight of infection preventionists’ responsibilities is a heavy one. Allow our team to support you with modern healthcare waste management that mitigates risks.

How Daniels can drive a New Normal for your IC team

  • ELIMINATING STATIC BINS

    Static bins beside patient areas are susceptible to curtain overhang cross-contamination. We offer a mobilized solution that not only allows you to increase container hygiene but also removes medical waste containers from the patient environment entirely.

  • REDUCED WASTE HANDLING

    As an IP professional, you understand more than anyone the impact of reduced surface touches and increased sanitization standards. We offer reusable containers that are not only robotically sanitized after each fill but also provide touchless disposal of waste.

  • CONTAINER PLACEMENT OPTIMIZED

    Ensuring your clinical staff has point-of-use containers is a key step to reducing their risks during disposal. Our expert installation team advises where to place your containers and how – whether that be a floor stand, wall-mounted, or on one of our mobile carts.

  • GOODBYE, CARDBOARD BOXES

    The “bag and box” method has been the standard for long enough. Cardboard boxes not only impact sustainability but are at risk for leakage and increased contamination. We offer the security of a reusable, bagless container. No more assembly – no more hand-tying bags.

ATP Tested Solutions

After two routine tests, a Pharmacy Clean Room failed to meet the acceptable levels of microbes allowed – we identified the cause as “nested” medical waste containers. We proposed and implemented a single sealed unit, the Daniels’ Medismart. All our containers undergo a thorough washing and decontamination process after each use. Our patented robotic system is fully automated to decant, wash, sanitize, and dry the collectors before redeployment. After Medismart implementation, no further work-surface tests failed.
