Environmental Services on the Front Line - Stories of Care Ep. 10

Описание: Environmental Services (EVS) workers are often expected to clean and disinfect rooms in which various infectious agents are present: Clostridium difficile, Candida aurus, SARS-CoV-2, tuberculosis and many more. While EVS professionals have historically been an unseen part of the healthcare team, their role was coming more to the forefront before COVID-19.

Pam Toppel, manager of environmental services for OSF Healthcare, joins us to discuss the vital role that EVS professionals play as members of the care team.
