Is Manual Temperature Monitoring Putting Your Clinic, Surgery Center or Blood Bank at Risk?
After a holiday weekend, staff arrive and discover a medication refrigerator is slightly ajar. How do you know when it happened and whether its contents have spoiled?
Your surgeons have reported that temperature and humidity are often too high or low before their first procedures of the day. How do you gain the data you need to understand and address their concerns?
Your regulating body is coming for an audit, and you need to demonstrate that your clinic is maintaining safe, healthy environmental conditions. How do you prepare accurate, reliable reports?
There are thousands of clinics, outpatient surgery centers and blood banks across the United States. Many of these clinics deliver services comparable to those provided by acute care facilities. Yet too many clinics are using an unreliable and inefficient method for monitoring and reporting environmental conditions.
Is your organization still counting on staff to manually view and record temperatures and/or humidity levels? If so, you’re likely putting costly medicines and vaccines, irreplaceable human tissues and infection control procedures at risk.
