The CleanCare 3-Step System<br />
Recently, there has been a renewed emphasis placed on good h<strong>and</strong> hygiene.<br />
According to CDC publications:<br />
• More than 2 million patients contract hospital-acquired<br />
infections, including MRSA; as many as 90,000 of these<br />
patients will die from these infections.*<br />
• Hospital-acquired infections add over<br />
$5 billion annually to healthcare costs**<br />
Additionally, in 2004 JCAHO modified its recommended h<strong>and</strong> hygiene guidelines<br />
to include the use of h<strong>and</strong> sanitizers, <strong>and</strong> added the following to its list of<br />
National Patient Safety Goals:<br />
• Reduce the risk of healthcare-acquired infections;<br />
comply with the current CDC h<strong>and</strong> hygiene guidelines. +<br />
<strong>Cardinal</strong> <strong>Health</strong>’s CleanCare system was developed to address the three specific<br />
steps that can lead to better h<strong>and</strong> hygiene: h<strong>and</strong> washing, h<strong>and</strong> antisepsis <strong>and</strong><br />
dermal hydration <strong>and</strong> moisturization. The system is an excellent foundation for<br />
an effective infection prevention program.<br />
<strong>Cardinal</strong> <strong>Health</strong> is a proud sponsor of the Institute For <strong>Health</strong>care<br />
Improvement’s 100K Lives Campaign, dedicated to preventing avoidable<br />
deaths <strong>and</strong> institutionalizing new st<strong>and</strong>ards of care that will continue to save<br />
lives <strong>and</strong> improve health outcomes into the future. For more information,<br />
