AHE announced the launch of its first Certified Healthcare Environmental Services Technician (CHEST) program.
 
Through proper care and maintenance of the healthcare environment, environmental services technicians (front line staff) play an essential role in patients' experience of care, as well as ensuring patient safety and satisfaction. Today's environmental services teams strive to go beyond cleaning, disinfecting, and caring for the environment.  They seek to create clean and quiet healing atmospheres that lead to improved outcomes.
 
In order to achieve these quality outcomes, environmental services technicians must be well-trained and demonstrate competence in a number of areas.
 
The CHEST will not only signify technical accomplishment, but also commitment to performance excellence. Register your facility to begin differentiating your team of environmental services technicians, and start making significant contributions to the patient experience of care, the facility, the profession, and the community.
