WEEKLY ROUND-UP

Welcome to the HealthcareFacilitiesToday.com weekly roundup. Check out the key posts from last week and hit the ground running on Monday.  

This week’s topics ranged from the appetizing to the . . . not-so-much.  Massachusetts healthcare facilities have commited to antibiotic stewardship through food purchasing, while an Ontario healthcare facility had to close its cafeteria to 'stem losses.’  Not everyone is avoiding the cafeteria line, however, and healthcare facilities are evolving as America's obesity rates rise.

If you’re in one of America’s top hospitals you might lose your appetite altogether, as some elite facilities are at the top of the list of America’s germiest hospitals. And be extra careful in Wisconsin where they are trying to figure out exactly why the rare Elizabethkingia bacterial infection is on the rise.

Be sure to come back to HealthcareFacilitiesToday.com every day next week. We’re gathering and sharing the news, insights and advice you need to do your job smarter today, tomorrow and far into the fast-changing future of healthcare facilities. 

Come to this year’s free National Facilities Management and Technology (NFMT) event. It will be held in Baltimore on March 22-24 and will include women in facilities management roundtable discussion.
