Resurgent Health and Medical Announces Infection Control News Blog During National Handwashing Week
Posted on: Thursday, 6 December 2007, 15:00 CST
Resurgent Health and Medical, the leader in automated handwashing and sanitizing technology, announced today the launch of its blog in honor of National Handwashing Week. The blog can be found at http://www.resurgenthealth.com/blog/ and covers hand hygiene news and trends.
"In an age when you can't turn on the news without seeing another story on MRSA and preventable infection on the rise daily, we decided to create this blog to educate and inform consumers about proper hand hygiene," said Jim Glenn, CEO of Resurgent Health and Medical. "Sadly, the general public is misinformed about alcohol-based hand sanitizers and their effectiveness -- while they are a good emergency alternative for handwashing, hand sanitizers must be used in conjunction with proper handwashing, not in place of."
Resurgent Health and Medical delivers state of the art employee hygiene technologies to hospitals and healthcare facilities, restaurants, meat-processing plants, dentist offices, etc. that are serious about infection prevention and the elimination of dangerous pathogens in the healthcare industry.
Resurgent's systems replace the inconvenience and inconsistency of manual handwashing with a totally automated approach to infection prevention. It is the first fully-automated, touchless system available in healthcare for mechanical handwashing, rinsing and sanitizing. It performs a ten-second cycle using a non-alcohol disinfecting solution. By making handwashing quick and easy to perform, the system increases healthcare workers' compliance to a hand hygiene program. It further boosts compliance by ensuring a pleasant, uniform handwash using high-pressure water jets that perform a consistent wash-and-sanitize cycle every time the machine is used.
In addition, handwashing compliance can be measured automatically. A patent-pending radio-frequency identification (RFID) employee badge reading technology, combined with data-reporting software, provide hospitals with automated monitoring and reporting of handwashing events.
"We're committed to helping achieve 'zero tolerance' in the prevention of healthcare-acquired infections," says Jim Glenn, CEO of Resurgent Health and Medical. "We launched this blog during a critical week -- National Handwashing Week -- in order to educate consumers and we hope it helps clear up some misconceptions in the hygiene area."
