Results in Action

One of our clients, a multi-campus academic health system was struggling with their environmental HAI rates. With 2 million square feet of campus and 200 FTE’s, they were ready for a major change that yielded real results.

The Lighthouse team first completed a comprehensive full facility assessment, and with the results, developed and implemented their custom ongoing EIP management program. As part of our program, Lighthouse provided a temporary management team to install and train on their new operating systems, as well as Tracer EIP/IP software. Their hourly and staff employees were also trained in our best-in-class processes and technologies to ensure program success.

As a result of the Lighthouse EIP program, they realized a reduction of 50% in C. diff cases, and improved patient throughput, as well as bed turnover time. As the program continues, Lighthouse is by their side, every step of the way.
