How Smart Hospitals Are Cutting Decon Costs by 30% — Without Risking Compliance

August 26, 20252 min read

What’s more expensive than running a patient decontamination program?

Running one that fails.

Yet most hospitals still rely on undertrained staff, aging equipment, and duct-taped protocols to meet one of the most high-risk, highly audited functions in emergency preparedness.

That’s why more healthcare leaders are turning to outsourced patient decontamination. Not just to cut costs—but to eliminate compliance risk, reduce legal exposure, and free up staff to do what they were hired for: care for patients.

RRS Patient Decontamination is a national leader in fully outsourced hospital decon. We manage the staff, training, equipment, compliance, and documentation—so you don’t have to.

Save 20–30% by Eliminating Decon’s Hidden Costs

In-house decon is full of budget killers: staff turnover, equipment failure, retraining, and regulatory fines. RRS replaces all of that with a fixed-cost program that removes unpredictability.

No more:

  • Emergency equipment repairs

  • Repeated compliance training

  • Surprise line items in your annual audit

Just predictable billing—and full program readiness.


Pass Every Audit Without Lifting a Finger

OSHA. The Joint Commission. CMS. NFPA.

Every agency has rules—and every rule carries risk. RRS takes full ownership of your compliance program, including:

  • Audit-ready documentation

  • Staff training and recertification

  • Preventive equipment maintenance

Result: Hospitals working with RRS experience smoother audits and fewer compliance violations—because we handle it all.


Free Up Your Team to Focus on Patient Care

When your emergency nurse is prepping for a hazmat drill instead of treating patients, something’s broken.

Outsourcing decon to RRS gives your clinical and safety teams their time back. No more pulling staff into tasks they were never trained—or hired—to do.

We staff your program with trained decon specialists. You keep your team focused on medicine.


Get 24/7 Readiness Without 24/7 Staffing

Emergencies don’t wait for business hours. But your decon team might be off shift—or worse, gone altogether.

RRS guarantees:

  • 24/7 on-call coverage

  • Pre-positioned equipment and supplies

  • Rapid response by certified personnel

We don’t promise we’re ready—we prove it with drill logs, compliance records, and documented response times.


Reduce Liability and Protect Your Reputation

Failed decontamination events don’t just create safety risks. They can:

  • Trigger lawsuits

  • Damage your brand

  • Jeopardize accreditation

With RRS, you get a documented compliance program backed by experts. That’s peace of mind—for your patients, your board, and your legal team.


Don’t Let Decon Be Your Hospital’s Blind Spot

Outsourcing decontamination is no longer just a cost-cutting strategy. It’s a smart move for hospitals that want certainty, safety, and simplicity—without overburdening their staff or budgets.
