About
Curtis J. Donskey is a leading authority in healthcare epidemiology and infection control, with a particular focus on environmental disinfection and the prevention of healthcare-associated infections. His research has been instrumental in advancing the use of ultraviolet (UV) light decontamination technologies, demonstrating their efficacy in reducing pathogen transmission in clinical settings. Donskey’s work includes comparative evaluations of multiple UV devices, such as a 2019 study in a radiology procedure room (25 citations), which provided critical data on the practical effectiveness of these systems. He has also explored next-generation robotic UV-C devices, addressing challenges like shadowing and distance that limit traditional UV efficacy. With over 200 publications and thousands of citations, Donskey’s contributions have shaped evidence-based guidelines for environmental cleaning, directly impacting patient safety. His studies are widely referenced by infection preventionists and hospital administrators seeking to implement robust decontamination protocols. Through rigorous, real-world assessments, Donskey has established himself as a key figure in the fight against antimicrobial resistance and hospital-acquired infections.
