Monitoring infection-control cleaning results

Employing a science-based measurement to monitor cleaning will have the most favorable results


When monitoring infection-control cleaning, a science-based measurement will have the most favorable results, according to the fourth part of an article on the CleanLink website. 

Infection-control cleaning programs must incorporate regular visual inspections, microbial simulation audits using a bioluminescent agent, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) monitoring. 

"Building service contractors (BSCs) should expect to use all three, and have a road map laid out about where they intend to use them, how often they intend to use them, what they are going to measure their results against and how they intend to use those results,” Peter Sheldon, an executive at Capital Contractors Inc., said in the article.

BSCs should expect to work with patient safety and infection-prevention specialists to fine-tune infection-control cleaning standards, frequency audits and reporting requirements, as well as to share their findings, the article said.
