Abstract

Based upon the challenges of improving and sustaining hand hygiene compliance through conventional means, increasing regulatory requirements and a desire to improve patient care, this 145 bed acute care Medical Center decided to implement and evaluate an automated hand hygiene monitoring system.

The initial implementation and application of technology alone, however, did not yield the desired results.
