Enhancing Patient Safety with Cleaner Healthcare Environment

Research has shown, patients face high risk of cross-contamination. Cordclear effectively keeps electrical cords off the immediate patient environment, potentially shielding patients from pathogens typically found on hospital floors like C. diff, MRSA, and VRE. Despite rigorous cleaning standards, research indicates that harmful organisms can transfer from floors to patients through direct contact with medical equipment. By isolating cords with a user-friendly designated cord holder, Cordclear possibly targets an often-overlooked transmission pathways, prioritizing patient safety.

It is widely published that hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a significant concern in healthcare settings, both in terms of patient safety and financial impact. These infections, which patients contract during their stay in the hospital, can lead to serious complications, prolonged hospital stays, and even increased mortality. 

Research shows the cost of treating HAIs is substantial, often involving medical interventions, extended use of antibiotics, and increased length of stay, all of which can strain healthcare resources. For patients, the risks are severe, including the potential for developing antibiotic-resistant infections, increased pain and suffering, and a higher likelihood of poor outcomes. 

Preventing HAI’s is therefore crucial for hospital administration, not only to protect patients’ health but also to reduce the financial burden on healthcare systems by providing a safe and clean environment.
