A New Normal for Facilities Teams
Cleaning professionals are on the frontlines in the defense of clinical hygiene - so what efforts can be made to protect them during their duties in regards to healthcare waste management? Sharpsmart is committed to creating a new normal for hospital facilities teams that prioritise their safety in driving sanitisation, reducing labour-intensive waste movement, and minimising patient interruptions.
In patient-care settings, we are seeing the current infection control challenges to hospital waste management:
- Clinical Waste Bins in patient rooms – who cleans the bins?
- Yellow bag removal, manual cardbox box assembly, direct contact with disposed infectious waste
- Hand “touch” of clinical bin lids to open or close
Allow us to remove thes challenges for your facilities team.
How Sharpsmart can drive a New Normal for your facilities management team
CONTAINER FILL EFFICIENCY
Experience easy sharps container exchanges with our Sharpsmart collector - designed with overfill protection, when the container is 2/3 full the tamperproof tray automatically flips up, sealing off the opening, and reads "FULL."
REDUCING MULTIPLE-HANDLING
Did you know that clinical waste is handled up to 8 times during the disposal process?! Our containment solutions and approach to waste management eliminate unnecessary container touches - significantly reducing your risk of infection or injury.
BULK MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY
We seek out any opportunity to reduce your labour and simplify waste management responsibilities. One way we achieve this is through bulk movement accessories. All Sharpsmart containment systems are compatable with our wide variety of mobile carts and transporter units.
CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT HYGIENE
A few risks to the cleanliness of the clinical environment are waste container cabinets and static containers in the patient rooms. Sharpsmart offers a solution in the form of mobilised waste containers that can easily be removed from the patient environment and are robotically sanitised after reach fill.
How We Make Waste Move
All good adventures begin with a map. Our team works with you to map the movement of waste throughout your facility - from generation to final waste pickup to identify efficiencies and where our unique technology can best support. Sharpsmarts' transporters that have been designed to deliver not only compact dust-free multi-stackable storage of sharps and clinical waste containers but also to reduce manual labour in seamless container movement continuity between clinical areas and offsite transportation. Designed with mobility in mind, our Transporters can be positioned at a loading dock for optimum access and utilised for the storage of both clean containers (eliminating space burden on utility rooms), and full containers staged for transport.
