Penalty Fees and Staffing Challenges Can Cripple Your Ability to Provide Effective and Scalable Care

Current cleaning protocols are certainly improvements over past methods, but still leave three key gaps:

Areas missed during cleaning and disinfection
Recontamination that occurs rapidly and continuously
Aerosolization of pathogens

ActivePure provides a layer of protection to help you address these issues and others, giving you peace of mind that you've taken the best possible actions to reduce these risks and provide a clean and healthy skilled nursing facility.

HO-MRSA

Between 2020 and 2021, a statistically significant 14% increase in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) attributed to MRSA were reported among national acute-care hospitals. The COVID-19 pandemic had not only stymied reduction efforts but also precipitated a rise in invasive healthcare-onset MRSA (HO-MRSA) infections, with increases seen of 12-34% in national MRSA standardized infection ratios in 2020 compared to 2019.

The Study

A medical-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) at a suburban hospital had seen similar increases in HO-MRSA infections-defined as a positive culture on or after the 3rd hospital day-despite no change in clinical practice. Between 2021 and 2022, a prospective study of ActivePure's advanced photocatalytic oxidation (aPCO) technology was conducted at the high-acuity facility, including baseline and regular post-activation surface samplings. No changes were made or required to the hospital's cleaning and disinfection practices, trainings, or schedules during this time.

Results

Statistically significant 98% decrease in MRSA surface burden from baseline to final post-activation test
Statistically significant decrease in HO-MRSA infections-including total elimination during the trial period-when compared to the same timeframe a year prior and the immediate 6 months prior to the study
99% decrease in average MRSA surface colony-forming-unit (CFU) counts from baseline to final post-activation test (427 to 3 CFU/100cm2)

Conclusion

ActivePure's novel aPCO technology resulted in a reduction of microbial burden and HAIs despite no change in clinical practice. The technology reduced MRSA on frequently touched surfaces in a high-traffic ICU, with corresponding decreases in HO-MRSA cases also seen.

Become the Preferred Place to Work

After years of high-stress COVID impacts, finding and retaining skilled nurses and support staff is more difficult than ever.

In a potentially pathogen-rich environment like a skilled nursing facility, nurses and support staff need to feel like their employer is making their health a priority. Equally as important, this commitment to providing every possible layer of protection empowers them to be more successful at their jobs and make a real difference in the lives of their residents. By installing ActivePure Technology in your skilled nursing facility you are showing the world that you place a priority on your people, giving yourself a competitive advantage.

Stand Out From Your Competition and Appeal to New Residents

The search for a skilled nursing facility can be a stressful and confusing experience. There are many factors that potential residents and their families take into account, with two of the most important being:

What steps is the facility taking to ensure the health and safety of the residents
Is the facility staffed with the appropriate number of nurses and support staff to ensure a high standard of care

ActivePure allows you to stand out from your competition by showing your commitment to a higher standard of care for everyone who enters your facility.
