It's the time of year when kids are back to school, the weather is
changing and we are more at risk of coming down with the flu. Experts are also warning that we could experience a spike in COVID cases and are encouraging people to get their flu shot and COVID boosters.
While these measures are important in order to prevent contracting
an illness, there are additional steps that should be considered in order to stay safe this season.
Technology is constantly 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.
Cross contamination is an invisible threat in healthcare facilities
and you could be exposed to germs by sharing a computer keyboard or even from your own mobile device. According to Healthcare Facilities Today, these devices can be a major source of germ transmission.
Wipes and disinfectants will help keep electronic devices germ free.
Disposable protective covers on your phone, tablets and keyboards will also help you decrease the amount of germs that are transmitted. Be sure to protect the equipment to help you stay safe and healthy through this fall and winter season.
