Reducing the cost of handling and disposing of medical waste is possibly the greatest single feature of the Walsh's medical waste products.

In most hospitals, anywhere from 40% to 65% of the regulated medical waste is actually regular trash. 

Medical waste costs 10 to 15 times more to dispose of than regular trash, and inappropriate segregation is wasting a huge amount of money.  

Reducing the amount of medical waste through proper segregation is the key to significant cost reduction for Housekeeping and Environmental Services budgets.

Walsh's Waste Tracker Program guarantees cost reduction.  This program includes a waste bin layout plan, a series of in-service sessions, support materials, and follow up.

In-service sessions are the most effective method for improving departmental compliance.  Walsh Waste Tracker tells you exactly which departments need help.

With the Walsh Waste Tracker Program,  you receive a professional package of support materials to help drive home your message.  The posters, flyers, pens, and post-it notes act as ongoing reminders to clinical and support staff of what is expected of them.

Compliance is assured because each time a problem is found, an e-mail with a digital photo is sent to the offending department.  Once the event is identified, the e-mail and follow-up documentation  is totally automatic.

With the Walsh Waste Tracker Technology, which is an integral component of the Walsh Waste Tracker Program, this is a simple process; identify who is wasting money, and let them know how to correct the situation.  With the digital camera you have undeniable proof of the problem.
