Federal agencies like the CDC and OSHA have exacting requirements for the medical industry. While the rules may vary for hospitals and dental offices, the reasons for the extraordinarily high standards are numerous:
1. Infection control – All medical offices are collection points for infected and sick people.
2. Occupational safety – Medical staff workers and professionals are vulnerable to disease and illness by the nature of their profession.
3. Patient satisfaction – Not only are visitors and patients more likely to be satisfied with their experience, but they’re also less likely to contract an infection while at your facility.
