UV Case Study: Excela Health

In the fight against healthcare-acquired infections, today’s healthcare facilities face many challenges, from coordinating infection control activities as patients travel within and between facilities and ensuring compliance with cleaning protocols, to confronting threats posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and emerging pathogens.

To help meet these challenges and more, healthcare leaders are increasingly looking to automated, whole-room disinfection systems as an added measure to help ensure the safest possible environment of care. In this case study, John Gnecco, Director of Environmental Services, at Excela Health in Latrobe, Pennsylvania describes how his team selected and implemented a new UV-C disinfection system to bolster their already strong infection prevention program and provide an extra layer of protection for patients, staff and visitors.
