Abstract
Inadequate cleaning and disinfection practices in the healthcare setting create an environment in which infectious pathogens can linger for days or even weeks on high-touch surfaces, presenting an increased risk of infection transmission to healthcare workers and patients. The World Health Organization recently cited environmental cleanliness as a key element for infection control across all healthcare settings. Yet researchers have found that less than half of all surfaces in United States healthcare settings are adequately cleaned. In the three study settings, administrators have recently documented significant incidences of non-compliant environmental cleaning behaviors of healthcare workers, related patient complaints, and the subsequent negative impact on patient satisfaction surveys. Healthcare workers cite inadequate training as the primary reason for non-compliance to established environmental cleaning protocols.
