Detroit, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2016 -- Infection prevention is paramount in the medical industry.

The company is effective when preventing infection of their linen and often share resources and studies on the matter to their partners.
There are many studies that are shining light on the problematic issue of inpatient and outpatient workers improperly following medical protocols. One study reported in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC) experimented with altering screen saver formatting with hopes of improving hand hygiene behavior by reminding medical personnel to wash up before procedures. There were two strategies to subconsciously influence this behavior. The first approach focused on gaining attention, and the second was to apply peer pressure. The conclusion of the research was that screen savers designed according to scientific propositions for visual attention and peer pressure have the potential to alter hand hygiene behavior.
In another study noted in the AJIC, results showed that 37% of staff members studied used no hand hygiene, shedding light on the ongoing problems occurring at inpatient and outpatient organizations. This is an ongoing challenge that facilities across America face on a daily basis. ImageFIRST is progressive when it comes to applying best practices and improving sanitation protocol.
