Add Privacy When Needed While Protecting Against The Spread of Viruses and Infections

Modern medical centers have a dilemma. Because of HIPAA privacy regulations, medical spaces need the ability to protect a patient’s privacy. In addition, they need to create an environment that does not harbor the potential for the spread of viruses or infection.

The options previously available included things like using blinds or curtains. The issue is that blinds or curtains can become a breeding ground for bacteria. A recent article in Infection Control Today stated it as follows:

Without timely intervention, privacy curtains in hospitals can become breeding grounds for resistant bacteria, posing a threat to patient safety, according to new research published in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC), the journal of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC). “We know that privacy curtains pose a high risk for cross-contamination because they are frequently touched but infrequently changed,” said Kevin Shek, BSc, the study’s lead author in the article.
