Rising stakes
The coronavirus has highlighted the importance of perfecting infec-
tion control's basic practices and has caused many facilities to reeval-
uate difference-making technologies that augment the performance of
their hardworking staff. Whether you're considering adding an auto-
mated endoscope reprocessing tool, an air purification system, or one
of the options in whole room disinfection (or N95 reprocessing!),
there are plenty of new solutions you can use to protect your patients
from exposure to infection-causing pathogens, including the newest
threat that has forced surgical facilities to step up their fight against
infection-causing bacteria and viruses.
