[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]”Whether handling things in-house or outsourcing, the organization must understand what is needed to ensure that the cleaning and disinfecting process is completed and documented. The first priority must be providing a clean, disinfected, and safe environment for patients, visitors, and staff. Maintaining a clinical environment is not like cleaning your home. Environmental services (EVS) staff must understand and use disinfectants, equipment, and other supplies registered with the U.S.Environmental Protection Services (EPA) that require a higher level of training and education. The choice to use a contractor versus the center’s staff comes down to who is best qualified, who understands the requirements, and who provides services that assist in the reduction of health-care-associated infections.”
