You shouldn't get sick from ice. But many do. Rockhopper certifies that our machines are clean, sanitary, and safe. Ice will be a choice...and that choice needn't involve infection. The most recent report from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) demonstrates the dangers of unsanitary ice machines. The report focuses on healthcare settings such as hospitals where 46 cases of infections were tied to unsafe ice across four hospitals in California and Colorado between 2020 and 2024. https://lnkd.in/gxd9bkQx. If you want your guests to know your ice is clean, sanitary and safe - reach out to learn how we help.

The judicious use of rapid viral tests in emergency departments (EDs) is crucial given the prevalence and burden of acute viral illnesses. Patients frequently seek care in EDs, where extensive diagnostic investigations are conducted to rule out bacterial infections, often leading to prolonged ED stays and increased antibiotic usage. Rapid viral tests offer a valuable tool to streamline diagnostic processes, reduce unnecessary testing, and optimize patient care in ED settings. #EmergencyDepartments #RapidViralTests #DiagnosticInvestigations #PatientCare #AntibioticUsage

Five years ago, WHO labelled antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the world's top ten public health threats. Over these past five years, there has been a continuous push to educate the global healthcare sector about the dangers of antibiotic misuse. This World Antimicrobial Week, with its theme "Educate. Advocate. Act now," continues to emphasise the importance of educating our healthcare sector and the public about the proper use of antibiotics. AMR jeopardises our ability to treat infections effectively, worsens and prolongs illnesses, increases healthcare costs, and can lead to new antibiotic-resistant outbreaks. Pathology is on the frontline in uncovering these new strains and outbreaks and keeping us safe. #KnowPathology
