Addressing Staffing Shortages with Advanced Infection Control Solutions in Federal Healthcare

With over 4,400 staffing shortages in federal healthcare, adopting innovative infection control strategies is critical to maintaining patient care and minimizing operational strain. Infection control plays a vital role within the Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), and Indian Health Services (IHS), helping reduce the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). For example, the VA achieved an 87% reduction in MRSA infections in ICU settings through enhanced infection-prevention measures. At the same time, IHS facilities rely heavily on robust programs to prevent outbreaks that disproportionately affect the 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives they serve.

PRM helps these organizations combat HAIs through:

  • Advanced antimicrobial coatings that prevent pathogen growth on surfaces.

  • Cutting-edge sterilization technologies to ensure medical devices and equipment are safe for use.

  • Comprehensive disinfecting systems for maintaining sanitary healthcare environments.

These innovative solutions strengthen federal healthcare providers' ability to protect patients and staff, even amidst workforce challenges.
