Hand Hygiene
Hand Hygiene is the single most
effective intervention to reduce the
cross transmission of healthcare
associated infections

Hand Hygiene
Why Measure Hand Hygiene?• Hands are the most common single source of
HAI’s• Nationally, compliance for handwashing for
HCW’s is only 40-60%• Hand hygiene reduces transmission of
infections by HCW’s• Many quality improvement and consumer
groups are demanding better performance from hospitals
