In the current context where infectious diseases, such as measles and tuberculosis, represent a major challenge for public health systems, the Integrated Health and Social Services Center (CISSS) of Montérégie-Centre has taken a remarkable initiative to improve patient and staff safety.
By integrating the very first negative pressure room within a Local Service Point (PSL), the CISSS of Montérégie-Centre has taken a significant step forward in combating infection spread. This technological innovation plays a crucial role in effectively isolating individuals during screening and vaccination phases, thereby minimizing the risks of transmitting infectious agents to other people present in healthcare facilities.
In line with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and Social Services regarding additional precautions to adopt in managing measles, this approach demonstrates the CISSS’s commitment to adopting best practices to ensure a safe and protective care environment.
ATEK’s Role
In this thrust of innovation and safety, ATEK positions itself as an essential strategic partner, thanks to its advanced expertise in developing and implementing highly compliant automatic surveillance systems in accordance with the Guidelines for Vaccine Management Standards and Practices.
ATEK offers cutting-edge technological solutions dedicated to differential pressure monitoring, a critical parameter for controlling environments at risk of contamination. Through this continuous monitoring, ATEK facilitates rapid and effective intervention in case of unwanted variations in pressure conditions, thus contributing to the prevention of nosocomial infections.
These advanced technologies not only ensure patient safety by isolating pathogens, but also play a determining role in protecting healthcare personnel, by preventing the spread of potentially dangerous infections within healthcare facilities.
Exemplary Collaboration
The collaboration between the CISSS of Montérégie-Centre and ATEK perfectly illustrates the importance of integrating technological innovations into healthcare practices to strengthen infection control measures.
By implementing highly secure care environments equipped with the latest surveillance technologies, the two entities demonstrate their shared commitment to excellence in patient safety and care quality.
This initiative is part of a broader healthcare facility modernization approach, aimed at providing highly secure and adapted care services to contemporary health challenges, thus marking a significant advance in combating the spread of infectious diseases within communities.
