We Offer a Full Compliment of Healthcare Specific Specialty Services

While our skills were developed primarily to assist the healthcare industry to cope with disasters, our same offerings can assist with day to day operations and routine facilities maintenance. The end result is the same – improved uptime, reliable systems, and a working environment free from pathogens.

 

Containment and Cleaning Services

During construction, it is crucial to stay on top of environmental standards. We can help your construction crew minimize particulates and maintain critical cleanliness standards.

Containment

 
More Info
Control of dust from demolition, work and construction areas
is key to controlling clean environments. Maintaining clean air
in healthcare settings is paramount to infection control goals.
Proper engineering controls ensure dust from remodeling and remediation projects is captured.

Cleaning

 
More Info
Sanitization & disinfection methods in hospitals, dental clinics and surgery centers are routine and must be properly implemented to meet cleanliness standards.

HEPA Air Filtration

 
More Info
Air filtration can remove particulates from the environment to protect sensitive equipment and patients.
 

Healthcare Construction

We understand the special challenges present with healthcare during the construction, reconstruction,  and remodeling processes.  Let our expertise minimize downtime and impact on patient care.

Critical considerations PCRA/ICRA

 
More Info
  • Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA)
  • Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA)
  • Infection Prevention & Control
  • Barrier/containment design

PCRA’s are conducted during the Planning stage

 
More Info
  • Why have a PCRA at all? (other than “it’s required”)
  • Don’t reinvent the wheel…Use TJC Standards
  • Have you adopted “Guidelines for design & construction of healthcare Facilities” at your organization?
  • What about NFPA? (99,101, + 110, 241,10, 19, 72, 80)
  • What about the National Electric Code? (Article 517, nfpa 70)

Infection Prevention Risk Assessment

 
More Info
  • Does an ICRA take the place of a PCRA?
  • Designed to minimize the potential of spread of infection
  • Begins in the ICRA (Planning) phase and continues until completion
  • Multi-disciplinary team (members may change)
  • Dynamic process
  • Continual project documentation

Infection Prevention and Control Process:

 
More Info
  • Multidisciplinary team has been “voluntold” about their participation
  • Discuss containment/barrier design
  • Engineering controls
  • Outside services (industrial hygiene, project manager)
  • Housekeeping
 

USP CHAPTER 797 COMPLIANCE

As hospitals and pharmacies focus on infection control rates and operational issues, adapting their physical plants to meet USP Chapter 797 compliance, they may find it can be challenging. We offer supplementary services to support existing maintenance regimens.

Surface Cleaning

 
More Info
Our program and trained technicians can turnkey your monthly and quarterly service. Ceiling surfaces down to the floor are thoroughly cleaned using our 2-step method of HEPA vacuuming and lint free wet wipe cleaning process.

Air Quality Assurance

 
More Info
HEPA air scrubbers and No-touch Automated Room Disinfection systems ensure the highest environmental standards are met during every job.

Industry Leading Compliance Software

 
More Info
Our software tracks facility compliance with USP 797 standards.  Capture daily and periodical tasks for each service type rendered.

EQUIPMENT RELOCATION, DECOMMISSIONING & COMMISSIONING

Healthcare expansion is fluid and growth models are ever changing. When remodeling or new construction takes place patient interactive, bio-medical and imaging equipment must be carefully handled. ER Healthcare is ready to serve as your technical relocation experts.

Equipment Relocation

 
More Info
Whether a new facility across town or an adjacent building, knowledgeable project managers and strategic planning makes all the difference.  ER Healthcare can assist in all phases of medical equipment relocation, including project management, engineering for the new location, transport, to OEM testing and re-calibration during the re-commissioning process.

Decommissioning

 
More Info
The administration of multiple hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams is a sizable task alone. Decommissioning pathology labs, radioactive equipment and obsolete electronics requires knowledge beyond a general commercial office equipment mover. When equipment is deemed obsolete it may be salvaged.  Prior generations of medical related equipment can be sold, traded in or donated. No matter the healthcare facility operator’s goals for the final disposition of any equipment,we can help.

Medical Equipment Commissioning

 
More Info
Installation of new and used equipment will require electrical, mechanical work as well as new control wiring. All equipment supporting systems are to be tested to OEM standards as well as meet Joint Commission and any local, state or federal authority having jurisdiction.

Disinfection and Sanitization

 
More Info
Disinfection and sanitization measures must be the final piece of the re-commissioning puzzle so that IAQ and environmental testing can allow for occupancy. Unlike a typical moving company, ER Healthcare knows the correct order of operations for equipment being reused is vital to the timeline and cost control of any relocation or decommissioning project.
 

CLEANING, SANITIZATION & DISINFECTION

Sanitization & disinfection methods in hospitals, dental clinics and surgery centers is routine and must be properly implemented to meet cleanliness standards.  These same best practices can also be applied to day care centers, schools, public buildings and businesses to lower infection rates and improve public health.

Hard Surface Cleaning

 
More Info
Routine hard surface cleaning and specific treatments have proven to reduce and even kill viruses thus reducing transmission. Structural surfaces as well as contents such as chairs, tables and desks can be effectively treated.The impact of lost work and school days is costly but the health ramifications can be even more concerning.

No Touch Disinfection

 
More Info
ER Healthcare can employ a number of NTD systems to complete the disinfection process.  Our HEPA air scrubbers and NTD systems will ensure the highest levels of disinfection.

Not Just for Healthcare

ELECTRICAL GEAR TESTING, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT

As electrical power infrastructure ages, it becomes less reliable.  Lack of maintenance to electrical components can result in system reliability or failure. Ignoring electrical maintenance, or problems, in these settings can prove catastrophic.

Annual Scheduled Maintenance

 
More Info
ER Healthcare can create scheduled maintenance plans for your facilities that comply with industry best practices.  Scheduled inspections and testing are the best method for identifying developing issues before they turn into equipment failure or catastrophic loss.

Water Intrusion, Floods or Leaks

 
More Info
It’s all to common that organizations do not closely inspect the spaces that house their industrial equipment.  Our inspectors are trained to spot structural problems that lead to an unsafe environment for your electrical systems and equipment.

Temporary Power Solutions

 
More Info
