Today’s healthcare providers are faced with the almost impossible task of increasing the standard of care afforded to each patient while, at the same time, reducing the operational costs associated with providing this improved level of care.
One area of increasing concern is infection control, especially given that recent studies have shown that healthcare associated infections (HCAIs), such as MRSA, are far more prevalent than was previously thought. For this reason, sterilisation and disinfection within healthcare facilities have become essential topics for examination.
Also of major importance, the global market for wound care was recently estimated to be worth more than $7 billion, with chronic wounds, in particular, causing an increase in both the cost of care and the average length of a patient’s stay.
If hospitals are to finally meet both their patients’ needs and their financial targets, it is essential the huge demands relating to areas such as infection control and wound care management be met.
