Every year, from October through April, healthcare facilities across the U.S. combat influenza and norovirus season, managing outbreaks that significantly impact their facilities by increasing cases of staff and patient illness, deaths, and unexpected financial expenses.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from seasonal flu-related complications each year, while norovirus causes an average of 71,000 hospitalizations, 400,000 emergency department visits and 1.9 million outpatient visits.
To equip healthcare professionals with the educational tools they need to help prevent and contain influenza and norovirus outbreaks in their facilities Clorox Healthcare created the Influenza & Norovirus Prevention Tool Kit. The Kit includes:
· Advice and key learnings from infection control experts
· Prevention tips, environmental cleaning protocols and checklists
· Information on the impact and costs associated with influenza and norovirus outbreaks
