We developed a new method using an invisible fluorescent marker to target standardized high-touch surfaces in hospital rooms. Evaluation of 1404 surface objects in 157 rooms in 3 hospitals revealed that 47% of targets had been cleaned. Educational interventions were implemented, leading to sustained improvement in cleaning of all objects and a >2-fold improvement in cleaning of surfaces previously cleaned <85% of the time (P<or=.001).
我们开发了一种新方法,利用不可见荧光标记物来标记医院病房内的标准化高接触表面。对3家医院157个病房中的1404个表面物体进行评估后发现,47%的目标表面已被清洁。实施了教育干预措施,使得所有物体的清洁情况持续改善,且之前清洁频率低于85%的表面的清洁情况改善了两倍多(P≤0.001)。
