I. Housekeeping failures

A. Professional reference

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Environment Cleaning Procedures, (3/19/24) was retrieved on 9/5/24 from https://www.cdc. gov/healthcare-associated-infections/hcp/cleaning-global/appendix-c.html. It read in pertinent part,

High-Touch Surfaces: The identification of high-touch surfaces and items in each patient care area is a necessary prerequisite to the development of cleaning procedures, as these will often differ by room, ward and facility.

Common high-touch surfaces include: bed rails, IV (intravenous) poles, sink handles, bedside tables, counters, edges of privacy curtains, patient monitoring equipment (keyboards, control panels), call bells and door knobs.

Proceed from cleaner to dirtier areas to avoid spreading dirt and microorganisms. Examples include: during terminal cleaning, clean low-touch surfaces before high-touch surfaces, clean patient areas (patient zones)

before patient toilets, within a specified patient room, terminal cleaning should start with shared equipment and common surfaces, then proceed to surfaces and items touched during patient care that are outside of

the patient zone, and finally to surfaces and items directly touched by the patient inside the patient zone. In other words, high-touch surfaces outside the patient zone should be cleaned before the high-touch surfaces inside the patient zone and clean general patient areas not under transmission-based precautions before those areas under transmission-based precautions.

B. Facility policy

The Daily Room Cleaning policy, reviewed 6/12/24, was received from the regional director of clinical services (RDCS) #1 on 8/29/24 at 2:10 p.m. It read in pertinent part, The facility must provide housekeeping and maintenance services necessary to maintain a sanitary, orderly, and comfortable interior.
