Hospital Aseptic Management Services (HAMS II)

Provide non-personal service providing certified medical housekeepers, and janitorial custodians to implement the United States Air Force (USAF) HAMS services at USAF Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) throughout the Continental United States (CONUS). This program provides for aseptic cleaning, protection, and beautification of all rooms and areas identified for coverage at a particular installation to maintain a level of asepsis commensurate with the use of the facility, rooms, and areas. The three general requirements for aseptic management are: 1) aseptic cleaning, which is the removal of soil from surfaces; 2) protection, which is preventing damage to surfaces and equipment caused by normal use or improper cleaning procedures; and 3) beautification which is accomplished through aseptic cleaning and protection to provide a beneficial psychologically impression as it boosts patient, staff, and visitor morale.
