Abstract
Healthcare regulatory agencies identify effective hand hygiene as the single most important way to reduce infection risk, yet high levels of sustained hand hygiene compliance remain elusive in healthcare facilities. A 2010 Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology study systematically reviewed 96 empirical studies on hand hygiene adherence and found the median for hand hygiene compliance was found to be only 40%, with 72% of the studies reporting compliance rates of 50% or less. This study describes the use of an automated hand hygiene monitoring to improve hand hygiene performance and positively affect patient perception of caregiver behavior.
