Hand hygiene is important, yet performance is still suboptimal in most healthcare facilities. Historically, the focus of hand hygiene improvement has been on the behavior of frontline healthcare workers. Training and education are usually the first-line countermeasures for improvement, and while a baseline level of knowledge is necessary, it’s largely insufficient to change ingrained hand hygiene habits. During this webinar, we’ll discuss how healthcare facilities can benefit from examining hand hygiene as a system or process problem rather than strictly a people problem.
