BrightStar Care's Advanced Infection Control and Patient Safety Protocols
Germs are everywhere—even in your own home—so one of the most critical ways we prevent Infection is through proper hand-washing techniques and frequency.
At BrightStar Care, we train and competency test all our caregivers on appropriate hand-washing methods. A Registered Nurse observes and documents whether caregivers meet the techniques and frequency standards in clients' homes during supervisory visits. We track the data from these observations as part of our brand-wide safety and quality measures, and they are a performance-improvement indicator for Joint Commission accreditation.
Another important aspect of infection prevention is being mindful not to bring new germs into a client's home. Sometimes, our care professionals may visit more than one client in a day, so they properly clean equipment or medical bags they bring from home to home. We also track and trend immunizations for employees to encourage our staff to stay healthy and avoid unintentional infection transmission to a client.
Nothing has been more important than keeping our most vulnerable population safe during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Learn more about our COVID-19 Safety protocols - CLICK HERE.
