Technology is rapidly advancing in healthcare facilities and we are relying on new software, tablets and even our own phones more than ever to perform our daily tasks.
I know in previous issues we have discussed personal protection and certain equipment that can protect you depending on the job you are performing. Sometimes that is not good enough in healthcare facilities where cross contamination is an invisible threat and you could be exposed to germs by sharing a computer keyboard or even from your own mobile device. According to Healthcare Facilities Today, they can be a major source of germ transmission.
Microfiber cloths and disinfectants will help keep electronic devices germ free. Protective covers on your phone, tablets and keyboards will also help you decrease the amount of germs that are transmitted. Be sure that you protect the equipment so that you will stay safe and healthy through this Winter season.
