HealthcareCommunication & Collaboration4HighEnvironmental Services (EVS) Worker$ implied
EVS workers are denied access to patient diagnosis/precaution information needed to select appropriate cleaning chemicals and protect themselves from exposure.
No standardized way for EVS staff to automatically receive the necessary precaution type and pathogen information for each room they clean; currently dependent on nurses' discretion, which leads to inconsistent and sometimes denied access.

- Pathogen-specific cleaning instructions and recommended disinfectants
- Automated alerts for high-risk organisms like C. diff or scabies
- Integration with hospital bed management or EHR system
Target Users: Environmental Services staff in hospitals and healthcare facilities
