IMAGINE

DRAMATICALLY
LOWERING
HOSPITAL
READMISSIONS
Cleaner air means healthier patients
and because youve entrusted us with yours,
thats our promise to you.
Every time you refer your patients, youre responsible for the
quality of their continued care. Youre on the front lines of
keeping hospital readmissions
down and patient outcomes up.
Thats why we proudly invested
in airborne pathogen control
technology from Novearus. This
technology works to reduce
hospital readmissions by
safeguarding our residents from
harmful disease outbreaks caused
by airborne viruses, bacteria,
allergens and mold.
Consider these facts:
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) indicates that
Medicare penalties for hospitals due
to readmissions could top $8 billion
CMS Task Report (2010) calculated
total hospitalization costs for
potentially avoidable hospitalizations
exceeds $3 billion
Novaeurs customer research
measured a 56% decline of infection
rates for nosocomial infections with
all etiologies
Traditional methods of infection
control are becoming less efective
against newer, drug-resistant
pathogens and super bugs
