(Waukesha, WI)—January 5, 2021 – Surfacide®, the leader in hospital-grade, triple-emitter UV-C robot technology, is excited to announce they’ve moved to a larger facility in Waukesha, WI to accommodate rapid business growth at more than 500% in the past year. As we move into our new normal, germ-fighting, COVID-19 killing “robots” is being deployed everywhere from hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, hotels, gyms to commercial office spaces, tourist attractions, and professional sports stadiums. Surfacide has been a trusted leader in UV decontamination for over ten years due to its world’s only patented Helios® Triple-Emitter System of three virus-zapping robots.

Surfacide is actively being used throughout the world in over 500 leading healthcare facilities, children’s hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, dental offices, hotels, restaurants, commercial businesses and more around the world. Such facilities include the Seattle Space Needle, Beachbody Studios, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and locally at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Medical College—Milwaukee and Aspirus Wausau Hospital. The company’s UV-C technology is scientifically validated to inactivate coronavirus–the family of virus that make up SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

Surfacide’s new location is at N918 Northmound Dr., STE. 300 Waukesha, WI 53186 and the company’s new facility is more than 75,000 sq-ft, three times the size of their previous location. The company was started in a one-room office in 2010 and has experienced incredible and consistent growth every year since its inception. The expansive new building space will offer much needed space for Surfacide’s expanding team and to meet the huge increase in demand for their UV system since the pandemic hit. The facility will continue to house the company’s manufacturing and distribution arm, as well as a global training center, a state-of-the-art UV robot simulation room, conference rooms and offices.

Gunner Lyslo, Founder & CEO of Surfacide shares his excitement for the new space: “During the pandemic, we are fortunate to have grown our team and provide a proven UV-C technology that has tremendously impacted healthcare facilities, nursing homes, dental offices, and more in fighting the COVID-19 virus,” says Lyslo. “This year the importance of infection prevention has been paramount, and we expect to see that course continue in years to come. For as long as our communities need safety and protection, Surfacide will continue to evolve and be there to assist those who need it most.”

Bon Secours Mercy Health agrees to buy surgery center chain Surgery Partners for $5.7 billion

Bon Secours Mercy Health agrees to buy surgery center chain Surgery Partners for $5.7 billion

Bon Secours Mercy Health affiliate HealthSpan Partners agreed to acquire Surgery Partners in a $5.7 billion deal. The chain reported $3.31 billion in revenue during 2025, according to Fierce Healthcare. Insurers in its 30 states may face a bigger negotiator.

  • 01Surgery Partners reported $3.31 billion in revenue for 2025, while Bon Secours Mercy Health reported just under $14 billion, according to Fierce Healthcare. That suggests outpatient surgery could become a major part of the system's business.
  • 02The signal to watch after the Q1 2027 close: whether surgery center rates get folded into the system's broader negotiations with commercial insurers in its 30-state footprint.

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

mPulse’s Sam Oliver and Reva Sheehan said the CAHPS chapter moved with overall Medicare Advantage Star Ratings from 2026 to 2027 after CMS cut its weight from 4 to 2. With 11 measures slated to exit by 2029 and the equity reward cancelled, they urged quality teams to model CAHPS impacts and population mix alongside reweighting changes.

  • 01CMS cut CAHPS from a weight of 4 to 2 in the CY2025 final rule, effective with the 2026 Star Ratings, yet mPulse's chapter data shows CAHPS still moved in the same direction as overall stars for the 2027 cycle.
  • 02The April 2026 final rule removes 11 administrative measures, but none leave before the 2028 Star Ratings; the 2027 measure set is unchanged and the Health Equity Index reward is cancelled.
  • 03CAHPS stars are set by percentile cutoffs and reliability tests, and in the 2025 Star Ratings 13 percent of CAHPS results landed on a different star than the cutoff implied, 93 percent of them lower, according to RISE Health.

Why ECG device makers may stop rebuilding arrhythmia analysis from scratch

Monebo's Kinetic Software Library provides ectopic beat detection, QRS feature extraction, and heart rate and rhythm analysis for ECG devices. For ECG device engineering and regulatory teams, rhythm analysis could become a choice between building it and licensing it.

  • 01Fifty-one later FDA clearances trace their predicate lineage to Monebo's earlier libraries, a track record anyone evaluating the new one can check.
