The three participating hospitals are the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Columbus Community Hospital and Regional West Medical Center.
At each test site, a small area in a patient care room is sampled with a small stick that is put into a device for measuring contaminants in the environment. The results are available within seconds. Readings are used to educate the hospital’s housekeeping staff on best practices in hospital cleaning. Results will be studied by the research team to determine the best use for this detection device to maximize environmental cleanliness in hospitals.
