The Association for the Healthcare Environment and Kimberly-Clark Professional provide a free toolkit with resources to support effective cleaning and disinfecting of the environment.
The toolkit also provides resources for the recognition of frontline staff for maintaining a safe environment.
The toolkit is available as part of the Heart of Healthcare campaign. The campaign, launched September 2011, is designed to recognize and elevate the critical role that healthcare environmental services professionals play in supporting safety, quality and patient satisfaction initiatives and reducing healthcare-associated infections.
The toolkit includes the following:
- Employee recognition certificate
- Checklist for cleaning/disinfecting patient rooms
- Environmental services recognition posters
- Room calling cards to indicate when a room has been cleaned
Nearly all of the materials are customizable to include the logo of the healthcare facility utilizing the materials. Customization takes place during the free online order process.
