CDC releases cleaning resource for health care environment

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a new resource highlighting core components of environmental cleaning disinfection in hospitals.

The document aims to help health care organizations reduce risk of infection from surfaces and provides descriptions and examples of each of the six core components in order to ensure a clean patient care environment.

AHA’s Association for the Health Care Environment played a significant role in the development of the core components of an environmental services program in hospitals within this guidance.
