The Top Five Reasons Your Facility Needs Touch-Free Dispensers If your facility uses pumps or manual dispensers for your hand hygiene products rather than touch-free models, we have five reasons you might want to reconsider your choice. Better Compliance A study published in the American Journal of Critical Care found that touch-free dispensers are used significantly more often by staff than manual dispensers when both options are made available (4.42 times per hour vs. 3.33 times per hour for manual dispensers).1 Reduced Contamination There is less contact contamination with touch-free dispensers, helping to halt the spread of germs. Less Waste Because touch-free dispensers automatically dispense the exact amount of product needed to effectively cleanse or sanitize hands, less product is wasted. Smart Technology New dispenser technology allows units to use a minimal amount of energy per actuation, eliminating the need to change batteries during the life of the dispensers in most instances. Saved Space Because the dispensers can be mounted on walls or placed on floor stands, valuable counter space is saved throughout the facility. ProMed's highly trained territory managers are ready to tell you about GOJO's LTX touch-free dispensers, which are perfect for high-traffic areas throughout your facility.

The memo outlines the components of acceptable certification and recertification statements. It also includes information on how and when to document the certification and recertification statements. CMS encourages billing staff to be made aware of these requirements. To read the memo, click here.
