Infections are expensive, prevention is not.
A gelFAST program pays for itself rapidly, because better
hand hygiene is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing
hospital-acquired infections. A small increase in hand hygiene
frequency pays for the entire program, but gelFAST can deliver a
much larger increase.
The economics of infection can be shocking, with a typical
infection in an American hospital costing approximately
$13,900.* As mentioned, approximately 1 in 10 patients currently
acquires an infection. It is worth noting that roughly 1 in 23
hospital-acquired infections results in a fatality.* A great
many of these fatalities are avoidable* and tragic. Not
surprisingly, their economic impact is enormous as well.*
Each gelFAST cartridge saves a hospital on average $54 USD*, but most importantly, patients are protected and lives
are saved.
