“Airborne infections have a significant impact on the economic, clinical, environmental and marketing aspects of a nursing home,” said John Grondin, Executive Vice President of Sales, Novaerus. “Our customers recognize that the pathway to improved business results is through improvements in quality of care. That includes taking steps such as implementing the Novaerus technology to reduce the presence of airborne pathogens and working to lower re-hospitalization rates. Our customers work hard to improve the quality of care to their residents and take many steps to prevent infections. We’re pleased that facilities applying our technology to reduce airborne pathogens and prevent infection outbreaks have received the U.S. News & World Report five star rating.”
According to Avery Comagrow, U.S. News & World Report’s health rankings editor, the number of homes achieving the magazine’s five star rating is growing as more homes are taking steps to improve the quality of care.
“It speaks to care that is steadily becoming more skilled,” added Comagrow.
