HAIs Testing Services

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a serious concern for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare environments, impacting patient safety and increasing operational costs. A proactive approach to infection control, one that includes routine environmental testing for harmful pathogens, can play a critical role in reducing these risks.

 

EMSL Analytical, Inc., a leading provider of infection control and indoor environmental quality testing services, helps healthcare facilities strengthen prevention strategies through comprehensive laboratory testing and sampling solutions. By identifying dangerous microorganisms such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), and other pathogens, facilities can take targeted action before infections spread.

 

Routine environmental monitoring is a key component of an effective infection control program. High-touch surfaces, patient rooms, surgical suites, and common areas can serve as reservoirs for pathogens if not properly managed. EMSL’s testing services enable providers to verify cleaning effectiveness, assess contamination risks, and implement corrective actions based on reliable data.

 

“Proactive testing empowers healthcare facilities with the information they need to prevent outbreaks rather than simply respond to them,” said Jason Dobranic, Ph.D., Vice President of Microbiology and Life Sciences at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “Our goal is to provide both the scientific insight and practical tools necessary to support safer environments for patients, staff, and visitors.”

 

In addition to its laboratory capabilities, EMSL supplies the necessary sampling materials, making it easier to implement routine testing protocols. From swabs to air sampling equipment, EMSL delivers end-to-end support to streamline the process and ensure accurate results.
