Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical element of creating healthy working conditions for staff and facilitating patient healing in hospitals and other medical care environments.
Camfil, a global producer of medical-grade air filtration technology, has released a step-by-step guide to determining specific indoor air quality goals in hospitals for healthcare administrators and facility managers. The guide describes the impact of indoor air quality on patient care, explains the importance of determining specific IAQ goals, and provides a framework for establishing appropriate goals for individual facilities.
“Indoor air quality goals should be tailored to meet the unique needs of each facility and its patients,” says Camfil’s Dave Blackwell, an air quality specialist with over a decade of experience in the field, “These goals provide a tangible framework for identifying, evaluating, and addressing air quality issues effectively. By establishing clear benchmarks, facilities can prioritize actions and allocate resources more efficiently, ensuring that indoor air quality meets or exceeds recognized health and safety standards.”
