STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW): Contract Title: Light Disinfection Robots Background: SAVAHCS has seen an increase in C. difficile (C. diff) rates. In FY 14, the rate was 8.5 inf/10,000 PCDs and in FY 15, the rate increased to 10.5 inf/10,000 PCDs. The rate for FY 16 decreased slightly to 9.0 inf/10,000 PCDs. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania reported using UV-C light technology to clean patient rooms and reduced their C. difficile infections by 25% among hem-onc patients and saved up to 1.5 million in health care costs in a single year. To date, 20 peer- reviewed HAI rate reduction studies using the Xenex robot demonstrated the effectiveness in reducing pathogens from the environment. Five (5) of the studies were done by VA researchers found cleaning plus the UV light disinfection was far more effective than traditional cleaning methods and was 23% faster when integrated into the room cleaning process. One hospital noted a 53% reduction in C. difficile infection rates after 12 months. Scope: SAVAHCS plans to use the product the to assist in reducing C difficile infections in conjunction with reducing all HAI rates. These units will be used in the OR, Building 60 CLC, and Ward 2S. Since the equipment is portable the equipment will also be utilized in area where there may be higher rates of infection or for terminal cleaning after patients.
