About this session:

Effective environmental services and infection prevention relies on the adage that "you can't manage what you don't measure." This presentation explores the critical role of continuous assessment and tracking of key environmental data, including surface disinfection, air quality, hand hygiene, waste management, and water/drain sanitation, in safeguarding well-being and preventing infections. By systematically evaluating these factors, facilities can identify hazards, implement targeted interventions, and establish protocols for a safe environment. Proactive surveillance and data-driven risk management not only improve quality but also contribute to broader public health and safety objectives.



1. Understand the significance of comprehensive environmental monitoring and its direct impact on well-being.
2. Explore strategies to identify and mitigate potential hazards through data-driven interventions, ultimately reducing operational costs and enhancing efficiency.
3. Learn how proactive surveillance and stringent protocols contribute to overall risk reduction, compliance improvement, and the promotion of public health.
4. Recognize the importance of shared data and the establishment of a collaborative platform for information exchange, facilitating cross-institutional learning and best practices in environmental risk management.
