The health care industry is becoming increasingly concerned with chemical pollutants in health care facilities, including pesticides.  At the same time, health care providers need pest control programs that work.  Many hospitals are turning toward a method of pest control called Integrated Pest Management (IPM).  IPM is an environmentally responsible approach to pest management that applies comprehensive knowledge of pest biology and their interactions with the environment.  Using this information, IPM programs take advantage of all pest management options, starting with non-chemical techniques, and if necessary, judiciously employing other pest control materials, always considering the least-toxic formulations first.

The result is effective pest control by the most economical means with minimal hazard to people, property and the environment.  MedAssets offers contracts to support Integrated Pest Management.
