We MUST ALL work towards this goal. When we don't provide guidance things go off the rails. Specific example: We are just getting a handle on the exposure times and now both DRY TIMES and STORAGE are becoming the next big problem.

Instructions for Use (IFUs) guide healthcare workers on how to properly clean, high-level disinfect, and sterilize reusable medical devices, such as surgical instruments and endoscopes. IFUs are often vague, confusing, or unnecessarily complicated. It is encouraging to see the Infection Control world calling for manufacturers to standardize and simplify IFUs, to improve cleaning and disinfection compliance and efficiency. This is important work for patient safety. I interpret IFUs often in my role, and would be happy to see a change!

📢 New Publication Alert! 📚 Exciting findings on MolecuLight imaging that revolutionize wound care and outcomes for vulnerable patients in long-term care settings: Advances in Skin & Wound Journal’s latest issue features a publication by Martha R Kelso, RN, CHWS, HBOT looking at how MolecuLight’s detection of bacterial burden and guided management of wounds can impact the healing and risk of infection complication in patients suffering from pressure injuries in LTC/SNFs. 🔬 This retrospective, real-world study compared wound outcomes before and after the adoption of MolecuLight by the advanced mobile wound care specialists at Wound Care Plus, LLC The fluorescence (MolecuLight -imaged) cohort saw 71% more wounds healed by 12 weeks, healed 28% faster, and were 1.4 times more likely to heal than Standard of Care. Remarkably, infection-related complications decreased by 75% with MolecuLight . Link to the full publication here: https://lnkd.in/g-AnF-Hu 🔑 Key take away points: MolecuLight fluorescence imaging significantly enhances healing and infection control outcomes in a particularly complex, multimorbid patient base. MolecuLight continues to rise to the challenge, bringing change to the most complex population, and supporting equitable health care delivery everywhere.   #HealthTech #WoundCare #FluorescenceImaging #MedicalResearch #innovation #medicaltechnologyinnovation #woundcare #infection #infecitoncomplications #firstinclass #skinsubstitute #graft #woundbedpreparation #surgicaldedridement #realtimemedicalimaging
