Home of the 60 Second Curtain Change 

The edge of a hospital privacy curtain is one of the single highest points of contact for physicians and staff member hands - hands that could be contaminated from another patient.  The easiest way to mitigate this danger is to change the cubicle curtain on a more frequent basis.  The obstacle for this seemingly mundane task is time.

Changing a hospital privacy curtain takes an average of 40 minutes. This includes time spent waiting for maintenance or EVS (Environmental Services) staff to arrive with a ladder, time spent searching the Clean Linen Room for the proper size replacement cubicle curtain, and finally, the time spent actually removing the soiled cubicle curtain and installing the new one.  All this while at the same time precariously balancing on the ladder.

Of course time costs money.  Money in lost productivity, as maintenance or custodial staff are changing hospital privacy curtains instead of performing other tasks and lost time if they fall off the ladder and are injured - not to mention the fact that until the cubicle curtain is changed the room is out of service.  This means a new patient is stuck in a possibly crowded waiting room or holding area, increasing the chances of receiving or transmitting an infectious disease such as MRSA or Covid-19.
