Sustainable impact to the quality of care
PURPLESUN is a technology company on a mission to transform healthcare by creating the first non-chemical based standard for disinfection. Our novel light-based products provide healthcare facilities with the fastest, data-driven, sustainable solutions for infection prevention.
What is the true impact of hospital-acquired infections?
A new era of value-based healthcare is focused on quality.
In order to improve care, lower costs and improve operational margins for payers and providers we must implement infection prevention precautions.
1 in 20 patients will contract a hospital-acquired infection (HAI) during their stay
Infections not only harm patient health and trust but also hospital profits. Additional care due to infection is rarely fully paid for. Lower the infection rate and you’ll see healthier patients and economic savings.
The clinical & economic Loss from Infection
~90,000
Deaths per year resulting from HAI’s in the US alone
annual deaths resulting from hospital infections
~2,000,000
total number of patients with HAI’s in the US per year
annual infections
~$30K
cost per infection
~$45B
annual costs for US healthcare providers
Why embrace new infection prevention methods?
Limitations of today’s tools
Everything is done by hand
Thousands of surfaces to cover
No room for human error
Clinical burden
Increased pathogen resistance to antibiotics and cleaning agents
Surfaces remain contaminated for months at a time
Patient perception
New laws (section 2819) require public reports on performance
Patient has a choice in facilities
financial burden
HAIs add 8-19 days length of stay
Medicare reimbursement is withheld from hospitals with the highest HAIs
Healthcare needs a solution.
