We’re looking for volunteers to work with HSI on the following critical programs:

Education Initiative

 To provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for all patients, staff, and visitors by developing a clear and comprehensive training program for Environmental Services (EVS) professionals.

This program will support appropriate onboarding, ongoing education, and annual competency validation based on both established guidelines and emerging best practices. It will also include mentorship opportunities and a defined career pathway to promote professional growth within EVS.

IFU Initiative

This task force will develop standardized templates and guidelines for writing and reviewing IFUs. HSI will put the IFU before a review board and provide a stamp of approval for completion.

Cleaning and Disinfection Testing Standards Task Force

This task force creates the standard test methods for validation of surface disinfection compatibility. A patent is currently pending for one of the test methods HSI developed.

“A collaborative effort that brings together a diverse group of thought leaders, health care professionals, manufacturers, scientists and others is critical to explore root causes and develop sustainable solutions that will mitigate the spread of HAIs.”
