About
Charles Dale is a leading researcher in healthcare epidemiology and infection prevention, with a particular focus on environmental disinfection and the control of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). His work has been instrumental in demonstrating the real-world impact of combining multidisciplinary care teams with advanced no-touch disinfection technologies. In his highly cited 2015 study, Dale showed that implementing a pulsed-xenon ultraviolet (PX-UV) room disinfection system alongside a dedicated care team significantly reduced the transmission of *Clostridium difficile* in long-term acute care facilities. This study, which has garnered 65 citations, provided critical evidence for the efficacy of PX-UV as a supplemental infection control measure. By bridging the gap between engineering solutions and clinical practice, Dale’s research has helped shape modern protocols for terminal room cleaning and HAI reduction. His work continues to influence hospital infection control policies, offering scalable, evidence-based strategies for protecting vulnerable patient populations in high-risk settings.
