The Ebola virus disease is truly a world concern. For months we witnessed as many countries (including the US), news stations, and other entities treated the Ebola virus as an isolated problem in Africa and other developing countries. Unfortunately, our healthcare infrastructure throughout the last few months was not gearing up for the outbreak to hit US soil. Now that there are increasing numbers of Ebola victims, US facilities are starting to scramble. They are scrambling to prepare for Ebola patients that could spread the disease to workers, other patients, and visitors. Ebola is coming to facility near you.What seemed like a distant reality, US health facilities have already been affected with many healthcare workers now paying the price for helping Ebola patients. So, how can you help protect your facility/area and prevent the spread (or minimize the spread) of Ebola? Since Ebola is spread through bodily fluids and objects (needles, etc.), we can prepare by training our health employees with tools and ways to avoid being infected. (You can start by distributing Standard Precaution Posters that we offer free digitally).
Almost as long as the Ebola virus disease has been known (the 1970's), Glo Germ has been a force for germ training. Infection control trainings should be standard for all facilities, but we often find that many hospitals and clinics are behind the curve. Hence, it is no surprise that facilities behind the curve on training often have the highest HAI (Hospital Acquired Infection) rates. How can Glo Germ help prevent an Ebola outbreak in your facility?Glo Germ are simulation germs (fluorescent materials in an oil, gel or powder form) that help train for a variety of infection control procedures. The following are a list of ways that Glo Germ helps reduce the spread of infection: training and testing for environmental cleaning (room cleaning, staff training, sanitation), hand washing, donning gloves, donning masks, donning gowns (and other PPE- personal protective equipment), sharps disposal, patient lifting and transportation, isolation, fluid spills, catheters, quarantine rooms, donning and removing hazmat, emergency situations, disaster situations, and many more infection control trainings.
