Abstract

Despite monitoring of hand hygiene (HH) practices, Infection Preventionists (IP) at Facility A have not seen significant improvement in HH rates or reduction in healthcare-associated infections (HAI) through HH enhancement policies. Limitations of monitoring HH hygiene practices and adherence rates are generally derived from a snapshot view, fraught with bias, and difficult to validate. For these reasons and to improve patient outcomes, Facility A approved implemented an electronic hand hygiene monitoring system (EHHMS) in one unit.
