Frequently Asked Questions

How do healthcare facilities prevent Legionella growth in water systems?

Preventing Legionella requires a proactive Water Management Program (WMP) that includes regular monitoring, system disinfection, temperature control, and risk mitigation measures. Healthcare facilities should focus on high-risk areas like potable water, cooling towers, and sterile processing water. Apex provides Legionella risk assessments, testing, and customized water treatment solutions to help facilities minimize the risk of Legionnaires’ disease.

How does my facility create a WMP?

Creating a Water Management Plan (WMP) begins with a comprehensive risk assessment of your facility’s water systems. Identify potential sources of contamination, such as Legionella, and prioritize areas for monitoring and control. From there, establish protocols for water quality testing, system maintenance, and corrective actions. Apex simplifies this process by providing expert guidance, tailored risk assessments, and a step-by-step plan to meet your facility’s specific needs.

How would I know if our existing plan is properly implemented?

Proper implementation of a WMP requires ongoing monitoring, documentation, and verification of control measures. Indicators include consistent water quality testing results, adherence to maintenance schedules, and compliance with regulations like ASHRAE 188. Apex conducts plan audits and system evaluations to identify gaps and ensure your WMP is functioning as intended.

Does a WMP require Legionella testing?

Yes, Legionella testing is a critical component of a Water Management Plan, especially in healthcare facilities where patient safety is paramount. Routine testing helps assess risk and verify that control measures are effectively mitigating contamination. Apex offers comprehensive Legionella testing and analysis, ensuring your WMP meets regulatory and safety standards.

How can Apex help me develop and implement my WMP?

Apex supports you through every stage of your Water Management Program (WMP), from initial risk assessment and plan development to implementation and ongoing monitoring. We customize plans for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and sterile processing departments, ensuring compliance with AAMI ST108, CMS, and ASHRAE 188. With training, expert guidance, and data-driven solutions, Apex helps you maintain a proactive approach to water safety and prevent waterborne outbreaks.

How can Apex help me comply with CMS and industry regulations and guidelines?

Apex ensures compliance with key regulations, including AAMI ST108, CMS requirements, ASHRAE 188 & 514, by providing tailored water management programs, Legionella risk assessments, and water quality monitoring solutions. We stay updated on regulatory changes, offering proactive solutions that help your facility meet sterilization water quality standards, prevent waterborne pathogens, and maintain compliance.

What additional water and process steps should I take to ensure a safe and secure environment for our patients, visitors, and staff?

Beyond Legionella, hospitals and healthcare facilities must also monitor for Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)—all of which can thrive in complex water systems. These opportunistic pathogens pose a serious risk to immunocompromised patients and are often found in potable water systems, medical devices, and plumbing biofilms. Apex helps facilities mitigate these risks with advanced pathogen testing, continuous monitoring, and water treatment solutions.

What other waterborne pathogens should healthcare facilities monitor for?

To maintain a safe environment, regularly test for pathogens like Legionella, ensure proper disinfection of water systems, and monitor critical systems such as cooling towers and potable water supplies. Apex provides advanced monitoring technologies, routine testing, and expert analysis to address risks proactively and safeguard your facility.
