A study by University of Pennsylvania researchers identified several favorable ways 'high-touch surfaces' in hospitals can be cleaned, according to an article on the MD website.
Researchers also said there wasn't enough evidence to call any one method the best to help decrease healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
The study offered conclusions in three areas:
• Products and techniques implemented in cleaning hard surfaces
• If and how to cleaning was supervised
• What factors are necessary for effective cleaning and monitoring techniques
