Hospital Aseptic Maintenance Service

Description of Work

ATSI provides labor, supervision, management support, transportation, equipment, and materials to successfully accomplish the Veterans Affairs Aseptic Hospital Environmental Housekeeping Services contract for a 340,000 square foot hospital complex at Mather Air Force Base, California.  As a result of ATSI’s outstanding and exceptional performance, the client awarded ATSI an additional new hospital of 114,000 square feet.  The new hospital consists of four operating rooms, a recovery room, and ICU, and fifty beds.  This contract also incorporates two additional facilities.  One facility is 113,000 square feet and includes same day surgery, urgent care, oral surgery, pharmacy, laboratory and medical administrative offices.  The other facility is 74,000 square feet and is located at McClellan Air Force Base, California, which is twenty miles from the Mather site.  Total square feet is 327,137.  ATSI employs Executive Housekeepers, Registered Assistant Executive Housekeepers, Shift Leaders and Housekeeping Aides.

Special Considerations

Staying ahead of rapid and, often times, unpredictable changing patient occupancies so as to ensure the cleanliness of the rooms and patient shared and common areas.  ATSI has developed standardized Policy and Procedures Manuals that are constantly revised and kept current.  Material Safety and Data Sheets are developed so that housekeeping knows what the approved chemicals are for cleaning and disinfecting and the proper mixtures and usage techniques.  Staffing (day, night, and weekend) charts and schedules are designed so that a reliable plan is in place to accommodate the ever changing needs.  Back-up persons are scheduled in case of emergency or if someone is unable to report.  These methodologies and practices have been, in large, responsible for the organized and professional manner in which ATSI performs its services.  ATSI personnel are available 24/7 and can respond to any special need on very short notice.  ATSI continually exceeds our client’s expectations.  This is representative of the many letters that we receive from the government and from the medical staff, and hospital administrators.
