APIC just released its updated “GUIDE TO ELIMINATION OF MRSA IN HOSPITALS”

You can download the guide by going to APIC’s website.

One way to help cross-contamination is have a washable keyboard that can be cleaned between users. WETKEYS.com provides many solutions for sanitary typing in hospitals. Check out our new SaniType section!

Hello all!

Check out this HAI website devoted to keeping you up to date on HAI news. You can sign up to receive updates on the main page.

HAIs cost the health care industry tons of money each year and there are many organizations out there that are trying to build awareness of the issue (apic.org, infectioncontroltoday, etc).

WETKEYS.com is doing our part by manufacturing sanitary typing keyboards for the medical industry. In time, we can make HAIs a thing of the past.

The group APIC.org has added to its original “Targeting Zero” campaign which is aiming to eliminate healthcare associated infections.

The new initiative is “I Believe in Zero CLABSIs.” Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) were shown to be preventable in 2003 in the Michigan Hospital Association Keystone Project.

WETKEYS.com is also helping “Target Zero” by providing consumers with waterproof/disinfectable keyboards. Our products can be cleaned between users to cut down on cross-contamination. Stop by our site and get yours today!

It’s time to start gearing up to HIMSS 11.

The annual Health IT conference will take place Feb 20-24 in Orlando, FL. It is a great event to network at, get educated and encourage progress.

Just like at CES, you will be able to find waterproof, washable keyboards at the event. And if you want to get your sanitary keyboard before HIMSS, you can go to WETKEYS.com and choose from our wide selection.

The WHO just released the results of its study on HAIs in developing countries compared to Europe/USA.

The press release on this matter states that in the developed nations there is better tracking, more safety protocols and better procedures in place to cut down on HAIs.

In the mission to cut down on HAIs universally, WETKEYS.com carries the largest selection of waterproof washable keyboards on the Web. Get yours today!

Hello all!

The CDC wrote a nice piece on the importance of implementing cleaning programs for “high touch” areas. This means places like keyboard terminals where the general public shares the same keyboard with everyone else. Here is a clip from the article:

“In view of the evidence that transmission of many healthcare acquired pathogens (HAPs) is related to contamination of near-patient surfaces and equipment, all hospitals are encouraged to develop programs to optimize the thoroughness of high touch surface cleaning as part of terminal room cleaning at the time of discharge or transfer of patients. ”

We encourage everyone to read the entire article on Evaluating Environmental Cleaning in regards to high touch areas.

You can also visit WETKEYS.com to get your personal waterproof and disinfectable keyboard so you can implement a personal cleaning plan just like the CDC recommends for hospitals.

“A new way to better sterilize Sealed, Washable Keyboards.  As long as your medical keyboard is sealed on the outside,

using HINS-light technology can effectively kill hospital superbugs – including MRSA and C.diff”

It’s not always necessary to go to the doctor. The Mayo Clinic has came out with a guide with home remedies for staying healthy.
