Room 4 | Implementing Innovative Hand Hygiene Compliance Measurement System to Improve Clinical Outcomes: Hands-On Workshop Ecolab Workshop | ![]() | |
17:30 - 18:30 | Leading health organisations have stated that hand hygiene is the most important measure to prevent spread of infection. It is also the simplest, most effective method for preventing healthcare associated infections (HAIs). However, studies show that healthcare workers are compliant less than 40% of the time.* The Ecolab Premium Hand Hygiene Program can help your hospital achieve and sustain compliance to prevent the spread of HAIs by combining infection prevention consultancy with efficacious products, modern technology and data-driven insights. Ecolab’s Premium solution introduced electronic compliance measurement to give hospitals accurate data and visibility to reach and sustain improved compliance levels by: · Creating a patient zone around the bed using a sensor to capture hand hygiene opportunities. · Accurately collecting Hand Hygiene events through soap and alcohol dispensers. · Gently nudging healthcare staff to perform Hand Hygiene. · Providing actionable insights via an online portal, available 24/7. In this workshop, 3 topics will be covered in a rotational format. At Station 1, there will be an interactive demonstration of how the system operates in a “mock” patient room setting and participants will experience the system in clinical scenarios. Station 2 will be focused on improvement work based on data collected through the system, with focus on WHO multimodal approach. (training, feedback and promotion) Finally, Station 3 will offer an opportunity to talk about outcomes and business case creation for implementing such a program. *Erasmus V, Daha TJ, Brug H, et al., Systematic review of studies on compliance with hand hygiene guidelines in hospital care.
