Environmental Cleaning-Exam Rooms Course Description
Correct environmental cleaning of exam rooms can stop the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAI), and other illnesses that can easily be transmitted in healthcare facilities. Doctors’ offices and other outpatient facilities are vulnerable to contamination. Unlike hospitals and hospital rooms, a clinic doesn’t have a separate and unique exam room for each patient, or a dedicated space designated to a single patient. Instead, care is provided to multiple patients a day, often in quick succession, in an exam room. This makes contamination of surfaces and transmission of infectious agents highly likely. This course focuses on ways to control contamination and transmission of infectious diseases in the exam rooms of clinics, doctors’ offices, and outpatient facilities.
