Preventing the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) is one of the most significant concerns for healthcare facilities. At the same time, your patients’ expectations for what makes a clean environment vary. Our cleaning processes, technology and protocols improve safety; our patient experience expertise helps you stay ahead of evolving consumer expectations.

Customized Environmental Services for Acute and Ambulatory Facilities

Variability is not a good thing in healthcare, so we bring you staff, standards, protocols and technology that prevent infection and improve room turnaround time. But there is no such thing as a cookie-cutter approach. The customized environmental services program we’ll build together is unique to your healthcare organization’s needs.

The Higher Bar for Cleanliness

The Crothall Environmental Services Difference

Crothall Healthcare is the obvious choice for hospitals and medical office buildings nationwide because we drive results through the Power of Clean. These are the core differences we offer you:

Prescriptive Protocols

The customized program we design for you is dictated by your goals. But we bring processes, analytics and staffing capabilities we’ve acquired over our 30 years of experience in healthcare to give you the best results.

Processes

Over the last 30 years, we’ve learned a thing or two about cleaning and disinfecting processes. Our signature High Profile Cleaning (HPC) is our 10-step process to ensure a clean environment for everyone in your facility. HPC deals with basic sanitation and fights hospital acquired infections (HAI) on high-touch surfaces and elsewhere in the space. Clean is the building block of a safe hospital environment.

Analytics

The dynamic care group we create for your healthcare facility allows us to develop customized solutions rather than relying solely on standard healthcare groupings. We can reference trends in facilities similar to yours to the extent that it helps improve your program, but we don’t overly generalize.

Staffing

Our staffing protocols make sure we recruit, retain, and develop the right people to support your facility. With a deep talent pool and vast resources to improve and maintain staffing levels, we’ll help you secure the most qualified EVS associates to serve your organization.

Infection Prevention

Infection prevention is the foundation of safety in healthcare. Crothall operates under a disciplined 5 Pillar strategy that addresses cleanliness perceptions, and mitigates infection transmission and HAIs.

Prescriptive Experience

Everything starts and ends with the patient, but everyone who walks into your hospital or off-site location has an experience. We help you create positive, memorable moments for each person who encounters your organization.

Dedicated Patient Experience Team

Our specialized Patient Experience team has hundreds of patient experience managers, each trained in Positive Impressions™ and dedicated to helping our partners improve patient satisfaction and HCAHPS scores. This team advises and coaches our operators to help deliver the best patient experiences.

Press Ganey Partnership

Press Ganey is the leader in healthcare experience analytics; their partnership helps us understand patient drivers better. Combining our data with theirs has unearthed new best practices to improve HCAHPS for our clients.

HCAHPS Results

On average, HCAHPS improve 6% with Crothall environmental services. Add in support from our Patient Experience team, and that number climbs to 9%. Our experience brings you results in the areas that matter most.
