I don’t know if BJC has any protocal for cleaning computer equipment.
I just read an article (“http://www.smartplanet.com/technology/blog/rethinking-healthcare/the-fight-against-hospital-infection-hits-your-pc/1403/”) about the need to consider how PC equipment
may contribute to spreading of disease in a hospital. As the article
noted the use of PC equipment will increase with the coming of electronic
medial records.

Just I wanted to pass this on.
