Current disinfection methods are episodic, not continual, and therefore incomplete.

   population in high risk rooms and reduce HAI's by providing 
   continuous cleaning between traditional cleaning strategies 
   conducted by healthcare personnel. 
* An environmental improvement to decrease infection rates and 
   assist in control of bacteria such as Staph, MRSA, and C-Diff
* Implies an improvement in patient safety, better outcomes, and 
   a reduction in HAI's]]> 2016-07-23 06:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/christensen_j_m/649ig0x1458s/wish/116850160 christensen_j_m https://padlet.com/christensen_j_m/649ig0x1458s/wish/116850161 * Reduction of 60%, on average, over traditional methods
* Kills bacteria such as Staph, C-Diff, MRSA, TB, Klesbia
* Works anywhere that is exposed to light, including air
* Used as a compliment to normal cleaning processes
* No education or additional manpower involved in maintenance
* Presumed reduction of healthcare costs with decreased     
   infection rates
* Disinfects without harmful effects of UV light to humans
