On this episode, we’re joined by Shari Solomon, the President of Clean Health Environment LLC, and a TIPS Advisory Board member, for a comprehensive crash course on Infection Prevention and Industrial Hygiene
We define sustainability in the business context, discuss obstacles to adoption, and explore the direct and indirect benefits to the business.
Wendy and Corinne are going to break down the Cleaning Industry Trends you need to know for 2023 in areas such as:
– Infection control protocols
– Cleaning for health and sustainability
– Employee recruitment and retention
– New technologies and digital innovations
– Best practices in cleaning equipment and protocols
On this episode we talk with Dr. Rodney Rohde, a Regents’ Professor at Texas State University, and the University Distinguished Chair and Professor for Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS). Dr. Rhode helps us to better understand what a Clinical Laboratory Scientist does, why they are so critical to healthcare delivery, and why it’s so important to raise awareness of the profession, as well as the risks we face due to the shortage.
On this episode, we talk with Max Simonovsky, Founder & CEO of Soapy.
Max founded Soapy after an interaction with his young child regarding handwashing. It got him thinking about how environmental triggers and our perceptions of them can impact our behaviors. He followed that thread, and it became Soapy.
Soapy’s hand-washing technology educates, validates, and modifies behavior. In the field, Soapy technology has been used to increase hand-wash adherence by up to 98%. Adherence paired with proper technique, which Soapy also teaches, has a chance to significantly reduce hospital-associated infections (HAIs).
On this episode, we explore Dr. Birx’s path from childhood scientist, to practicing physician, researcher, director of CDC’s Division of Global HIV/AIDS (DGHA), Ambassador-at-Large, and U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator as part of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program, and White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under President Donald Trump (and believe it or not, still much more in-between!).
The Mission of ISSA Show North America is to be the leading resource for information, education, innovation, networking, and commercial opportunities for firms within the worldwide cleaning industry. It’s where leaders gather to transfer knowledge and create cutting-edge solutions to push the industry forward. In doing so, we leverage the strength of a global community to change the way the world views cleaning – increasing the appreciation for cleaning as an investment in human health, the environment, and an improved bottom line.
On this episode, we talk with EC and Sam, Co-founders, and Co-CEOs of Poppy, about the importance of understanding indoor air quality. This, of course, is tremendously important and obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic (especially with the growing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 may be primarily transmitted by aerosols). However, it has always been this important and always will be. We spend much of our time indoors and the quality of those spaces has a dramatic impact on our health and wellbeing. We get into the why, the science and technology (which is fascinating), the potential for impact and scale (which is tremendous), and more
Today’s guest is part of a growing body of experts calling on the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) community to accept that SARS-CoV-2 is not only transmitted by aerosols but that the airborne route may be the dominant mode of transmission. Dr. David Fisman, an epidemiologist and professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, along with several colleagues, published Ten scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Fisman tells us that the evidence is clear, but the IPAC community has been slow to accept it.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen by most objective measures. We’re breaking records for cases, deaths, and hospitalizations on a regular basis, and many of our hospitals are operating at or near capacity. Further complicating the situation, scientists are tracking the “UK variant” that is more transmissible, and our vaccine distribution has fallen well short of expectations. Emergent problems in a deepening crisis, of course, make us vulnerable to knee-jerk reactions that distract us from the known path to getting the pandemic under control.
