At PDI,
We never
forget who
we are all
working
for.
Be The
Difference™
It’s our shared mission to fight preventable
infections and help save
lives.
At PDI, we develop advanced products and
comprehensive solutions that
meet
the
highest
standards of healthcare. And we work in
partnership with committed
professionals to
help get patients back home where they belong.
No matter where we work or what we do, each
of us is empowered by this
higher
purpose,
knowing that what we accomplish together can
make all of the difference
in the world.
We know that numbers like 2 million+
infections and 100,000+ deaths from
HAIs
last
year are more than statistics.
They're people.
That’s why we created the PDI Lens. It’s a
tool we use to remind ourselves
how
important
the work we do really is.
Day in and day out, PDI is
committed to working with you
as a total
solutions partner.

IMPROVE OUTCOMES
For years, we have perfected our approach to demonstrate consistent, improved outcomes. From healthcare to community settings, PDI has been able to help reduce overall Healthcare-associated Infection (HAI) rates, incidence of Catheter-related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSIs), Multi-drug Resistant Organism (MDRO) contamination, and everything in between.
IMPROVE PATIENT SATISFACTION
Patient feedback through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Survey (HCHAPS) will determine whether or not you receive 1-2% of Medicare reimbursement each year, reinforcing the value of providing your patients with the best experience possible. PDI can help you provide effective solutions to keep patients comfortable during their stay.
IMPROVED REVENUES
By 2015, overall CMS reimbursement is expected to be reduced by 6%, or $146 million.
But
cutting costs alone will not make up for this reduction in reimbursement. Improving
quality
of care will ultimately reduce costs, helping you earn back some of the lost
revenue.
PDI has over 35 clinical studies
since
2008
demonstrating improved outcomes, patient satisfaction, and revenues. For more

ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE
Preventing cross-contamination is critical for protecting staff, visitors and patients in your care. Our portfolio of Sani-Cloth® products offers you a complete solution for disinfecting environmental surfaces, helping to reduce the risk of infection transmission in diverse healthcare settings.
SKIN ANTISEPSIS
A patient’s own skin flora can be a primary source for Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) and Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSIs), making proper skin antisepsis a key to any effective Infection Prevention program. That’s why PDI launched Prevantics, our newest platform designed to offer cutting-edge antiseptic solutions backed by the latest scientific research.
HAND HYGIENE
PDI continues our commitment as a total solutions partner with our line of hand hygiene wipes: Sani-Hands®. With hand hygiene identified as the single most important intervention in prevention infections, Sani-Hands is our answer for those who demand a better hand hygiene product.
EDUCATION
We know that your time and resources are limited. That is why PDI is there with you – to help. Our in servicing program serves to educate hospital staff on proper use of our products and reinforce key infection prevention initiatives. We also offer on-going educational opportunities for you and your staff to stay up-to-date on today’s hot topics.
ASSESTMENTS
Our goal is to make it easy for your staff to do the right thing, every time. We help improve staff awareness of protocols and accessibility of products with tools and resources that support the process. Because we know products alone do not prevent infections.
PARTNERSHIPS
We value our industry and supplier partnerships, continuously investing in existing and new relationships that impact our cause. These relationships ensure we stay ahead of relevant trends, including regulations and guidelines to help identify best practices and anticipate future customer needs.
