Title: | Sustainability and novel technologies to improve environmental cleaning in healthcare - Implications and considerations | Authors: | Jain, S;Dempsey, K;Clezy, K;Mitchell, Brett ;Kiernan, M A | Affliation: | Central Coast Local Health District | Issue Date: | 14-Aug-2024 | Source: | S2468-0451(24)00047-6 | Journal title: | Infection, Disease and Health | Department: | Nursing & Midwifery Directorate | Abstract: | Along with emerging technologies electrolysed water (EW) systems have been proposed for cleaning and/or disinfection in clinical areas. There is evidence for the use of EW in food-handling and the dairy industry however there is lack of evidence for EW as an effective cleaning and disinfecting agent in a clinical setting. Existing publications mostly are either laboratory based or from non-clinical settings. This is in direct contrast to other approaches used in healthcare cleaning. The aim of this paper is to provide infection prevention and control professionals with a risk assessment checklist using an evaluation of electrolysed water as an example of the analysis and consideration required prior to the introduction of any new technology and, in particular, the inclusion of sustainability. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/1/2721 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.idh.2024.07.002 | Pubmed: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39147677 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article |
