In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic’s unprecedented strain on the nation’s healthcare infrastructure and economy, the need for reducing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) has never been more relevant or important.

Healthcare - Infection Control

From the CDC website:

Although significant progress has been made in preventing some healthcare-associated infection types, there is much more work to be done. On any given day, about one in 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection.

From the NIH website:

Annually, approximately 2 million patients suffer from healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in the USA, and nearly 90,000 are estimated to die. The overall direct cost of HAIs to hospitals ranges from US $28 billion to 45 billion.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has previously indicated that approximately 2,000,000 cases of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) occur each year costing 100,000 lives. Beyond the human toll, each HAI adds approximately $15,000 to the cost of treating the patient, a $30 billion problem.

Reducing Infections and Improving Patient Safety

Derive Technologies provides many options to address infection control challenges. Among them are passive solutions like specialized keyboards, mice and other data-entry devices incorporating special polymers designed for long-term repetitive usage of disinfection measures such as chemical wipes. Active solutions include sterilization products utilizing UV-light-based disinfection techniques. Many solutions offer management and oversight features—helping drive best practices and protocol control into the most challenging of HAI categories.
