Built to Heal: The Nitty Gritty Cleaning Committee: The Fine Points of EVS Excellence

Built to Heal: The Nitty Gritty Cleaning Committee: The Fine Points of EVS Excellence

Patient safety starts with a clean environment—but how often do gray areas in cleaning responsibilities create confusion between Infection Prevention and Environmental Services? In this Season 4 premiere of Transmission Control, hosts Garrett Hollembeak and Trey Morrow sit down with Mike Epperson, Area Vice President at HHS, to explore one of healthcare's most critical partnerships: IP and EVS. From IV pumps and bedside commodes to isolation signage and EVS cart setup, they tackle the gaps that emerge when cleaning responsibilities aren't clearly defined and documented. Mike shares how IPs can round with intention, support proper disinfectant use and dwell times, and use tools like UV markers as education instead of "gotcha" audits. Every patient is impacted by the environment, and this conversation shows why strong IP–EVS collaboration is foundational to keeping it clean, compliant, and survey-ready.
