Improving Your Environment of Care-Breaking the Chain of Disease Transmission


 

Join us for a 90-minute audio conference as we discuss the relationship between environment contamination and HAI. The presentation focuses on a new study that demonstrates how to reduce infections through new technology that can eliminate microorganism growth inside a hospital's air handlers (part of the heating ventilation air conditioning system).

We will provide insight on how implementing new technology can reduce energy use, improve care and save costs associated with staffing and pharmaceutical use.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Understand the latest science on the role of airborne transmission in the environment of care.
  2. Identify reservoirs for microorganism growth that are routinely overlooked or misunderstood.
  3. Learn about a new study that documents significant reductions in hospital acquired infections (HAI)for a neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU).
  4. Learn why environment of care issues demand integration of hospital administrators, facility mangers and medical staff, and how to do it.
  5. Demonstrate how improving hospital air quality reduces HAI's and energy use.

Who Should Attend?

Presenters and Panelists:

Timothy Leach
CEO
VIGILAIR Systems, Inc.

Mr. Leach combines his experience in multiple disciplines (microbiology, biodefense, HVAC engineering, cleanroom design) to show how many hospitals have pathogen reservoirs within their facilities, and how those pathogens impact infectious disease. Mr. Leach is the founder and CEO of VIGILAIR Systems and regularly participates in policy forums dealing with infectious disease, biodefense and healthcare HVAC design.

VIGILAIR's ultraviolet germicidal irradiation system was recently designated by the US Dept. of Homeland Security as a "Qualified Anti-Terror Technology". The company's installations include hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers and high profile financial institutions in the US , Canada , Mexico and Asia .
