Your Hospital Solution To Keyboards

Author: K.Meadows  August 20, 2010

Hospitals need to be extremely stable environments, and strict hygiene protocols are enforced at all times to maintain an uncompromised test center.

WETKEYS vendor, iKey, makes keyboards that are designed with disinfection in mind. The durable rubber can withstand bleach cleaning or a pressure wash. Low-profile keys and a completely sealed design make cleaning a quick and efficient process – simply wipe or spray down the site.

WETKEYS recommends: iKey medical input devices for all your hospital keyboard needs.

When Hospitals Admit Errors…

Author: K.Meadows  August 17, 2010

Liability costs go down. At least, according to This Study by the University of Michigan Health System.

The Wall St. Journal reported this article yesterday and it has some interesting facts. Even though the hospital would admit and compensate for mistakes, lawsuits declined and overall liability costs did too.

The healthcare system can lower its costs even further by implementing WETKEYS washable keyboards and mice.

All of our medical grade equipment is waterproof and can be cleaned between users. This helps prevent hospital spread infections. When you lower unneccessary infections, you lower the overall cost of healthcare.

The Cost Of Medical Errors

Author: K.Meadows  August 12, 2010

The Wall St. Journal wrote a piece on the cost of medical errors today.

“Medical errors and the problems they can cause — including bed sores, post-op infections and implant or device complications — cost the U.S. economy $19.5 billion in 2008, according to a  study released today. (That’s enough to buy almost 1.3 billion copies of The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande’s bestseller on reducing such errors via the lowly checklist.)

The study, commissioned by the Society of Actuaries and carried out by the actuarial and consulting firm Milliman, is based on insurance claims data. The cost estimate includes medical costs, costs associated with increased mortality rate and lost productivity, and covers what the authors describe as a conservative estimate of 1.5 million measurable errors. The report estimates the errors caused more than 2,500 avoidable deaths and over 10 million lost days of work.”

MRSA Cases Are On The Decline

Author: K.Meadows  August 11, 2010

Bloomberg News has reported that MRSA cases are on the decline in the US.

“Invasive MRSA, a hospital-acquired infection that kills at least 15,000 people annually in the U.S., may be in retreat as health providers strengthen practices to control its spread.

The rate at which patients contracted this drug-resistant germ, one of the most common causes of infections in hospitals, dropped 28 percent from 2005 through 2008 in nine metropolitan areas across the U.S., according to a study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. There was also a 17 percent decline in health-care-associated outbreaks that occur outside hospitals, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which collected and analyzed the data.”

The AHA wrote in a letter to the OSHA that the current standards are complete enough not to be updated.

“No need for additional infection-control standard, AHA tells OSHA

August 04, 2010
Hospitals have effective and comprehensive programs in place that integrate the need to protect patients and health care personnel from infectious diseases, and there is no need for an additional standard, the AHA said today in a letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. “The existing infection prevention and control standards, including their assessment and enforcement by regulatory, accrediting and certifying bodies, have proven to be functional and appropriate, and substantial resources are dedicated to their regular maintenance and improvement,” AHA wrote, responding to OSHA’s request for public comments on the issue of occupational exposure to infectious agents in health care settings. Hospitals follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and recommendations for protecting caregivers and patients from infectious disease, which are enforced by hospital accrediting and certifying bodies such as The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. “In order to justify a new standard, OSHA must demonstrate that these comprehensive and stringently enforced programs are insufficient, and that gaps in the existing programs have led to measurable increases in occupationally acquired infections,” AHA said.”

Big news from the AHA.

Stay Safe While Living a Healthy Lifestyle

Author: K.Meadows  August 4, 2010

Hello fans! Hopefully you are all enjoying the week.

WETKEYS wanted to make all of us healthy lifestyle goers aware of a potentially dangerous everyday situation.

The New York Times wrote an article on skin infections that can occur at the gym. Below is a portion of it:

When you go to the gym, do you wash your hands before and after using the equipment? Bring your own regularly cleaned mat for floor exercises? Shower with antibacterial soap and put on clean clothes immediately after your workout? Use only your own towels, razors, bar soap, water bottles?

If you answered “no” to any of the above, you could wind up with one of the many skin infections that can spread like wildfire in athletic settings.To read the entire article, click Here

Infections like MRSA can easily be transmitted at gyms, so make sure to be aware of how to avoid getting sick.

Moreover, don’t forget that you need a hygienic keyboard to keep up with your healthy lifestyle. WETKEYS makes all of its products with this in mind. We have waterproof and cleanable keyboards and mice to fit any need.
