Protect Your Patients and Residents from Healthcare-Acquired Infections
If you work in a hospital or healthcare facility, then you are fully aware that the spread of germs can be a huge issue. Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAIs) are affecting U.S. hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other medical facilities in more ways than one. Not only are they costing your facility an astronomical amount in additional care, but they are also causing patients and residents to need medical treatment for even longer. It's important that healthcare providers as well as patients and residents alike, do everything they can to try to prevent the spread of HAIs.
Here at MedFare, we understand that these are especially difficult times for healthcare facilities and providers. MedFare offers many products that can help prevent the spread of HAIs, and we're sharing a few of those in this week's blog.
Use Stock or Custom Printed Dietary Kits
Patients and residents inevitably will consume at least one meal within your facilities, so you want to ensure you're doing everything you can to help prevent the spread of HAIs during mealtimes. While metal utensils can be cleaned, there is still the chance that they won't be cleaned well. This could cause a huge issue with aiding in HAI prevention. Plastic utensils and cutlery can virtually eliminate the guesswork. You can be 100% sure that the equipment they are made with is sanitary, and then plastic utensils can be individually sealed in wrappers to keep bacteria out. After a plastic utensil has served its purpose, it can be disposed of, and limit customer exposure to E. coli and other bacteria.
One of the biggest advantages to using our Dietary Kits is that they can include both non-food items and condiments. Custom Dietary Kits can be created to meet your needs. Plus, you can add your logo onto either a printed napkin or film.
Promote Clean Hands
A majority of germs that can cause serious infections in healthcare are spread through people's actions, or lack-thereof. People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. Germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick. Hand washing with soap and water can significantly reduce germs. Unfortunately, though, some patients and residents are bed-ridden and cannot simply get up to wash their hands regularly.
By providing them with an easy to use hand sanitizing wipe, you can help decrease the number of HAIs in your facility. By providing an individually wrapped anti-bacterial hand wipe to your patients and residents, you will provide the opportunity for proper sanitation.

Prevent with Traycovers
Studies are proving that the spread of germs in your facility can be contained through the help of Disposable Paper Traycovers and/or Placemats. In fact, providing these items for each patient and long term resident can drastically reduce the cases of HAIs. While Placemats and Traycovers have proven very successful as a barrier to overall bacterial content, they have been particularly effective as a barrier to coliforms. Additionally, studies have shown that there are much higher levels of Staphylococcus found in samples with no Placemat or Traycover.
The benefits of placing Traycovers and Placemats on your trays and tabletops far outweigh the cost. Isn't it worth it to help prevent the spread of germs in your healthcare facility?
