Cone uses technology to end hospital-acquired infections - Greensboro - The Business Journal.
Cone Health is tapping into a new technology to reduce rates of hospital-acquired infections, a costly and dangerous problem that hospitals nationwide are under pressure to address. The Greensboro-based health system is one of about two dozen nationwide using the new Xenex pulsed-Xenon disinfection system to help prevent the spread of some of the most common hospital infections, such as MRSA, a staph infection that resists typical antibiotic treatment, or C. Difficile, a serious intestinal infection.
