Welcome to the 2018 Healthcare Surfaces Summit

Our initiative groups are active, and we are looking forward to hearing the reports from everyone at the Summit. Each initiative plays an important role in creating solutions that will provide sustainable reductions in healthcare acquired infections. Ultimately reducing risk and improving the quality of care to patients and their families!

The Healthcare Surfaces Summit (HSS) is a cutting-edge collaboration of thought leaders to evaluate and understand all aspects of the complex role environmental and other surfaces play in transmitting pathogens that cause infection and illness in healthcare settings. Its mission is to reduce preventable infections by mobilizing industry, academia, science, regulatory, and service organizations to reduce the transmission of surface related pathogens. The Healthcare Services Summit has established cross-disciplinary Initiative Workgroups to develop solutions, best practices, and research hypotheses for the development of scientific evidence-based best practice recommendations that support policy and regulatory change. HSS is a nonprofit corporation supported by sponsors, donors and partners.
