Janitorial Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Americhem has been helping healthcare organizations achieve their vision of a cleaner and healthier facility for over 35 years! As a local and family-owned business, we value authenticity, determination, continuous improvement, and teamwork. We showcase these values through our partnerships and take initiative to help your facility to succeed through our products, equipment, and training solutions.Â
Patient Rooms
Patient room cleanliness is one of the most crucial areas of your entire facility. These areas are where patients spend the majority of their time during their stay, and where they stay while recovering from critical procedures or surgeries.
Because of this, the whole room needs to be disinfected and cleaned in order to prevent infection from patient to patient.
Restrooms
We know patient satisfaction scores are important for hospital administration and are directly tied to hospital cleanliness.Â
Bathrooms, specifically, are usually among the top 3 sources of complaints. This is why Americhem offers the most effective and high-quality products and machines for the job.Â
We also offer a bathroom sanitation training program free of charge for Americhem Partners.Â
Through this training, we will equip your team with the skills, tools, and protocols to keep restrooms spotless and reduce the spread of germs, because a clean restroom means a healthier facility for everyone.Â
Cafeteria & Kitchens
Organization and routine cleaning are essential to maintaining the safety of patients and employees working in and using your hospital’s kitchen and cafeteria.Â
Cafeterias and commercial kitchens are especially vulnerable to cross-contamination, which, if not addressed, allows illnesses to spread across the hospital.
Having your staff trained appropriately ensures your facility complies with health regulations and reflects your hospital’s overall standards of professionalism.
Building Exteriors
The first impression visitors see of your facility is the building exterior, which makes the outdoor upkeep key to your hospital’s reputation.
Not only this, but sidewalks and entrances can grow algae or collect debris that can cause slip and falls by incoming patients and even professionals. This opens up your facility to unnecessary and costly liability lawsuits.
Our range of outdoor maintenance machinery includes compact sweepers and tractors that can fit directly on sidewalks. With pressure washer and washing system attachments, these machines can tackle your ongoing maintenance tasks with ease.Â
Consistent maintenance protects your building and sidewalk surfaces from decay and staining, ultimately saving you money in the long run by reducing the need for repainting and repair costs. Contact our team to learn more about our outdoor solutions.Â
Shuttles, Ambulances and Transport Vehicles
Stopping the transmission of pathogens starts before patients even enter the building. Patients have a chance of interacting with a variety of vehicles, including ambulances, shuttles, and medical transport vehicles.
These vehicles need to be cleaned just like any other area of your hospital. Americhem offers a variety of chemicals and equipment specifically for this purpose.
Front Doors & Elevators
As both high-traffic and high-touch areas, elevators and front doors easily transmit viruses and spread contaminants.
These locations should be on your team’s frequent rotation for disinfection. If patients and visitors see that these areas are well-maintained, it will build up the overall trust they have in your facility and make them feel safer.
Lobbies & Hallways
First and foremost, lobbies and hallways need to be made clear for accessibility and emergency reasons. Wheelchairs, stretchers, and other mobility aids are a common sight in hospitals, so patients and medical staff need to be able to make their way through at any given time.
In case of an emergency, all pathways and exits need to be cleared as well. This includes spills, biohazards, equipment, or accumulated trash.
Americhem provides our partners with all the tools necessary to clean these high-traffic areas, reducing stress on administrators and the patients themselves. Like every other area discussed so far, keeping germs and bacteria from spreading in lobbies and hallways is critical, too.
Nurse Stations
Nurses are the backbone of the average healthcare facility, which means that they come into contact with a large number of patients in their daily routine. Through training and internal infection control processes, you can prevent the spread of germs between nurses and patients by keeping nurse stations disinfected regularly.
Laboratories and Diagnostic Areas
The priority with cleaning hospital labs and general diagnostic areas is minimizing any risk of sample contamination. False positives or false negatives can create a chain reaction that, if not caught, can lead to a patient’s misdiagnosis and possible death.
A clean lab also greatly minimizes the risk of biohazard exposure, which protects anyone handling patient samples, including the technicians themselves.
Proper daily cleaning of the entire lab room will keep your equipment accurate and working for longer. Over time, the buildup of dust and improper cleaning chemicals can damage the specialized machinery used in diagnostic areas, so it is best to avoid the buildup altogether.
Parking Lots
If parking lots and garages are not maintained, your hospital is put at the same risk as they are with building exterior issues.
Americhem offers a variety of commercial and municipal machinery that is built specifically for outdoor use and parking lot maintenance. Our experts can help you select the machinery that fits your exact facilities’ needs.
Operating Rooms (ORs)
Operating rooms must maintain a sterile field during procedures in order to reduce patient risk to a minimum. Besides the tools themselves, every other area of an operating room must be disinfected and sanitized as well. This includes the lights, the machines, ventilators, the operating table, walls, floors, and more.
With so many different surfaces, it is important for your staff to clean this room at every level, and with the right chemicals. Following all the appropriate cleaning steps ensures tools do not get compromised during future procedures, causing surgical site infections or viruses to spread.
Emergency Rooms (ER)
Emergency rooms run the same risks as operating rooms, only with the chaos of the emergency department, there tend to be more biohazards around than in any other location in your facility.Â
These rooms will need to be efficiently sanitized and turned over more often than operating rooms. This ensures that new patients coming in requiring urgent procedures are as safe as incoming patients for any other department. Thorough cleanings keep medical teams safe as well.
Coordination between employees and the cleaning staff will keep room scheduling moving smoothly and avoid delays.Â
Intensive Care Units (ICU/NICU)
The importance of cleanliness in the ICU and NICU is just as critical, if not more important, than in an operating room. The patients in these units are the most susceptible to infections, where even the most minimal contact with contaminants can cause complications, extended recovery, additional operations, or even death.Â
If you don’t know whether or not your staff knows how to select the right products to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and pathogens in these rooms, please reach out to us and inquire about our complimentary training. We offer contamination control, safety, and bloodborne pathogen training that directly impacts healthcare facilities.
If you have specific questions or concerns about your facility, we are happy to provide you with solutions through our free facility evaluation. Contact us through the survey form to learn more.Â
Laundry Rooms
By working with Americhem and our partner Pariser, we ensure you successfully produce clean, hygienic linens efficiently and economically.
Linens such as bed sheets, patient gowns, towels, and scrubs all need to be properly sanitized every time to maintain the safety of patients and employees. These linens regularly come into contact with bodily fluids, biohazards, and general contaminants, so if not properly cleaned, your facility will run into a host of problems and open itself up to the costly aftermath of healthcare-associated infections.
You can trust that the team members you will work with are highly trained and knowledgeable. We are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you are satisfied with our products and services. Reach out to our team today to get a free cost reduction proposal for your facility!
Hand Hygiene Stations
Americhem offers a variety of sanitizer stands and dispenser replacements. These stands make sanitizing easily accessible for employees and patients on the go. When you place these throughout your healthcare facility, prioritizing high traffic areas, you can help fight off germs on a high level between visits, meetings, and restroom uses.
Contamination Control Training Opportunities
Americhem International offers both on-site and off-site training programs designed to equip your team with the knowledge and skills needed to operate equipment and maintain facilities efficiently, ensuring your employees are confident and well-prepared.
Providing your team with adequate training will equip them with the right skills and knowledge to perform their daily tasks in the safest and most efficient way possible. Let’s work together to boost performance and productivity.
Health & Wellness
This seminar will be on how your housekeepers can maintain their professional safety while providing the highest quality of cleaning, disinfecting, and breaking the chain of infection in all facility types.
Rigorous and regular environmental cleaning is essential to prevent the transmission of infection. Because of this, training staff on cleaning thoroughly is imperative to the success of stopping the spread of healthcare-associated infections.
High-touch surfaces are one of the quickest ways that infections and viruses spread. Even with the best hand hygiene practices, contaminated surfaces expose potential pathogens which are then transmitted to other people and surfaces.
Americhem provides training and solutions to help protect your facility against healthcare-associated infections with a complete collection of disinfecting products, floor care, and laundry.
