Limiting the spread of infectious disease is one of the greatest challenges in a hospital, clinic and senior living facility. In a setting where residents or patients can come in contact with others, minimizing the spread of COVID-19 is a significant focus for everyone world-wide.

According to the CDC different parts of the country are seeing different levels of COVID-19 activity. The United States nationally is in the initiation phase of the pandemic. States in which community spread is occurring are in the acceleration phase. The duration and severity of each pandemic phase can vary depending on the characteristics of the virus and the public health response.

All 50 states have reported cases of COVID-19 to CDC, which has now confirmed over 450,000 cases worldwide and growing daily.

How are facilities handling infection control? How much time is spent tracing the spread of dangerous germs? Are infection-control decisions being made based on data, or are you running off assumptions more than anything else?

What tools does ZulaFly have to ensure infection is minimized?

Know Who Has Been Where in Your Hospital, Clinic or Senior Living Facility

ZulaFly’s contact history report shows you any tagged person or asset that has come in contact with an infected person. It also tells you where they were and how long they were in contact. This type of information, when gathered in a timely manner, provides invaluable insight that can help cut back or eliminate further spread of infection. No longer are you left to postulate or predict who has been exposed directly to a resident and/or patient or staff member, or whether certain staff members may have been in close contact with an infected patient within a specific period of time.

The relationship between staff and residents and/or patients in a health care setting is built squarely on trust. One way to strengthen this trust is to provide a tagging and locating system that provides the type of infection-control detail that keeps them as healthy as possible. When patient health and safety is maximized, healthcare facilities thrive in ways they simply can’t when efficiency is dulled by time-consuming reactions to infection control.

It’s worth noting that while technology such as ZulaFly is prevalent in all aspects of the health care industry, there are additional sectors, such as Education, where this functionality is also useful. Knowing where someone has been, for how long, and who else they have been in contact with can ultimately create value to numerous other industries.

It’s time to be proactive and keep your healthcare operation running at its peak. The data-packed advantage of ZulaFly and the ZulaFly mobile app keeps infection contained, patients and residents healthy, and staff working efficiently.
