Abstract
35%. The second unit has shown a 10.51% increase in “Always” response since installation along with 54% increase in dispensing, an 89% increase in HH compliance and a 22% decrease in NIMs. The 2013 savings in NIM for the combined units was $46,150 in direct cost, $31,954 loss and 52.4 days avoided. CONCLUSIONS: Hospital leaders leveraged the electronic messaging capabilities provided in this automated hand hygiene monitoring system to improve hand hygiene performance and positively affect patient perception of caregiver behavior. The survey tool measurement reflected the increased patient satisfaction and the increased HH compliance reduced costs associated with infections.
