Solutions for Long-Term Care

Creating Exceptional Healthcare Environments

Page 2: Creating Exceptional Healthcare EnvironmentsResearch shows that these germ “hot spots” typically harbor the greatest number of germs in long-term care settings. The Healthy Workplace

Infections are the leading acute illness in skilled

nursing facilities - with an incidence rate even higher

than patient falls1. Infectious illnesses not only cause

hospitalizations, they add to your costs and affect your

patient outcomes.

The good news is that, according to the Center for

Disease Control, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, flu

and other contagious infections are largely avoidable

with effective hand hygiene and surface disinfection.

That’s where we come in.

KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* is committed to

creating exceptional long-term care environments

that are healthier, safer and more productive.

As a recognized leader in healthcare education,

KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* can help you

make your facility truly exceptional – a place where

everyone feels equipped and empowered to

contribute to a healthier environment.

A Healthier Approach to Long-Term Care

Page 3: Creating Exceptional Healthcare EnvironmentsResearch shows that these germ “hot spots” typically harbor the greatest number of germs in long-term care settings. The Healthy Workplace

It Works

In a controlled study by Dr. Charles

Gerba of the University of Arizona,

The Healthy Workplace Project*

HYGIENIFY!* wash, wipe, sanitize

protocol:

Reduced the probability of

infection from common cold

and flu by approximately 80%†.

Decreased the number of people

who could become infected with

flu from 40% to 8%.

Reduced the number of surfaces

contaminated with viruses by 62%.

WASH WIPE SAnItIzE

*

It All Starts With Healthy HabitsWith staff, patients and visitors constantly bringing

in germs and touching different surfaces, it’s easy

to see how infection outbreaks get started.

We can help you reduce the spread of

germs in your facility with The Healthy

Workplace Project* for Healthcare.

It’s our innovative approach to hand

and surface hygiene that educates

and encourages patients and staff to

HYGIENIFY!* wash, wipe, sanitize to

help break the chain of germ transmission.

By following this simple, three-step protocol,

your staff, patients and visitors can help reduce

the spread of illness-causing microbes in patient

rooms, restrooms, hallways, break rooms, nurses’

stations and more.

Easy to ImplementWe access your facility to help you determine

the right product solutions for these areas:

In the Restroom

• Soaps are the best defense against

the spread of germs

• Paper Towels reduce bacteria on hands

by up to 77%

Outside the Restroom

• Hand Sanitizers are placed in common areas

where germs are easily transmitted

• Disinfectant Wipes kill germs on some of

the dirtiest hot spots

† The reduction in probability of infection by 80% is based upon mathematical modeling in the Workplace Wellness Intervention Study.

Research shows that these germ “hot spots” typically harbor the greatest

number of germs in long-term care settings. The Healthy Workplace Project*

for Healthcare educates and encourages patients and staff to HYGIENIFY!*

wash, wipe, sanitize to reduce the risk of germ transmission in the

workplace – especially in these areas. We can help you identify specific

hot spots in your facility.

An Arizona State University study found that when an innocuous ‘tracer virus’

was put on the entry door to a public building, that virus was discovered on the

hands of nearly 65% of workers and over 40% of surfaces – within just four hours2.

The Heart of Healthcare Program offers rewards, recognition

and training tools for your front line cleaning staff. This

program is the first of its kind to help elevate the critical role

these individuals play in creating a healthy environment.

the Importance Of Surface DisinfectionNurses and aides are constantly working with

patients then touching other surfaces, quickly

contaminating equipment, bedside tables, coun-

tertops, keyboards and more.

What’s worse, Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) research confirms that bacteria,

viruses and fungi are routinely transferred directly

from contaminated surfaces to patients. Studies

also show that effective disinfection can stop the

spread of these microbes – and lower a facility’s

rate of infection.

Make sure you have sanitizing wipes handy

for computers and phones. And be sure that

the solution your cleaning staff uses is mixed

according to the chemical manufacturer’s

recommended disinfection level.

We even offer a special program through our partnership with AHE‡

‡ (Association for the Healthcare Environment)

The first cotton rag dipped in solution can cause your

disinfectant concentration level to drop as much as 30%.

KIMTECH* WETTASK* Wipers are specially designed

to maintain disinfectant concentration without

binding during use.
