Current Challenges
Our focus is centered on providing a clean and safe patient environment by implementing cutting-edge processes and cleaning technology.
Pressure to reduce operating costs - Administrators and management are consistently seeking a reduction in margins to find paths for expansion and higher profits
- Demands for better cleaning - Expectations for cleanliness are never higher than in a healthcare facility
- Freedom to choose - Patients have a choice and medical facilities are forced to compete for their business
- Patient Expectations - Patients expect to leave your facility in better health than they came in.
It is important to understand that the acquisition cost itself for housekeeping supplies and equipment is a very small part of the total cost.
Our goals in the healthcare setting are:
Budget
To reduce operating costs by establishing an equipment inventory and capital replenishment plan in conjunction with managing employee staffing and workloading.
Cleanliness
To maximize disinfection standards in the effort to help mitigate HAIs and pathogen transmission by applying the newest technological advances.
Productivity
To optimize processes and procedures by creating tailored training programs and implementing routine cleaning schedules.
Documentation
To provide the tools for administrators and management to provide quantitative results by offering audit services and technology driven reports that enable you to track deliverables.
Prevention
To protect patients, environmental service technicians (EVS) and medical staff by establishing programs geared toward risk mitigation in the categories of infection prevention; workmen's compensation; and slips, trips, and falls.
A Roadmap for Infection Control & Prevention
Most hospitals have implemented some of these infection control measures in their organizations.
The difference between relying on each individual component versus a total infection control and prevention plan often spells the difference between stellar performance and average control. As more infection rates are published, a solid infection control plan can be the ammunition you need to drive patients to your hospital and away from a competitor's. Pike Systems specializes in the integration and implementation of a total infection control program that delivers results!
