Infection prevention

“EVS doesn’t always know a room needs an isolation clean.”

AffectsNursingEVS

Why it hurts

If the isolation status doesn’t reach EVS, an isolation room gets a routine clean and the next patient carries the risk.

What changes with Control

  • A nurse flags the room for isolation precautions.
  • EVS sees the flag on their queue and at the top of the clean screen.
  • The flag carries no patient details.
