WETKEYS Introduces Seal Shield’s Second Generation Silicone Keyboards That Are Antimicrobial, Backlit, 100% Waterproof and Dishwasher Safe.

“The SEAL TOUCH GLOW 2™ has been created to help reduce the risk of worldwide cross contaminations, including H1N1, Norovirus and the “superbug,” MRSA.  Dr. Charles Gerba, University of Arizona, tested numerous common touch surfaces and found keyboards to be a major bacteria harbor with 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet. Unlike any other keyboards, the Seal Shield™ SEAL TOUCH GLOW 2™ combines Seal Shield™ waterproof technology and SILVER SEAL™ technology for antimicrobial protection of the product, making it dishwasher safe and resistant to mold, mildew and odor causing bacteria. “

This was written by the Lexington Herald Leader today regarding the name change of HAIs:

...What's more, HAIs (hospital acquired infections) are common enough in all health-care settings, not just hospitals, to warrant a name change. They are now recognized by the Centers for Disease Control as "health care associated infections." The name change may seem innocuous, or perhaps a bit defensive on the part of hospitals sensitive to public relations. But on a deeper level, it's disturbing that rather than defeat the infection threat, we've renamed it to capture its expanding footprint.

The Cintas Corporation released the results of a survey it conducted on infection preventionists.

Here is a segment of the article:

CINCINNATI, Aug 25, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Cintas Corporation /quotes/comstock/15*!ctas/quotes/nls/ctas (CTAS 25.58, +0.38, +1.51%) today announced the results of an attendee survey conducted at the recent APIC 2010 conference. The survey was designed to better understand the relationship between infection prevention department and environmental services (EVS) in controlling hospital-acquired infections. The survey was completed by 100 infection control personnel.

Results showed that 79 percent of respondents indicated they work closely with the EVS department to establish cleaning protocols and ensure compliance. An additional 73 percent of respondents advised they were also involved in the selection of the cleaning products used within their facility.

“Infection preventionists play a pivotal role in limiting the spread of bacteria and viruses in a healthcare environment,” said Brent Shafer, VP Healthcare at Cintas. “By working closely with the EVS department, they can be a proponent for EVS to gain additional financial resources. This helps to improve overall levels of cleanliness, reducing cross contamination and infection.”

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.

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.”

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.”
