Delta Healthis the first healthcare system on the Western Slope of Colorado to implement the innovative#CleanSpaceHALOpersonal respiratory protective system through a $24,780 grant funded by the Next50 Initiative.“This system is also unique in that our patients can see our mouths when we are speaking since the masks are clear,” said Jessica Walters, RN, Infection Prevention and Patient Advocate for Delta Health. “For the folks we serve who are hearing impaired, reading lips is often the key to communication. My hope is this system will help those folks understand their plan of care, understand what medications are being administered and why; or simply seeing an encouraging smile from their provider.”
The HALO is essentially a mask that offers the same protection as a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) but without the bulk, hoses and belts, said Walters. The system eliminates the need for stockpiling highly expensive disposable masks since the HALO masks can be disinfected through something called a V-PRO cleaning system for an indefinite amount of time.
