OSS Health, an orthopaedic ambulatory surgery center serving south central Pennsylvania, historically has had very low infection rates, but wanted to get them even lower for better patient protection and bragging rights.
“Our infection level gets tracked, just like anyone else’s,” says Suzette Song, MD, an orthopedic surgeon. So in November, OSS Health bought two germ-killing robots from Xenex Healthcare Services to use in its pain center, operating rooms, 26-bed orthopedic hospital for patients needing to stay overnight and urgent care/ambulatory surgery center.
