Premier's video: Advisor Live Webinar: Critical Elements of a Comprehensive Hand Hygiene Program

It’s no surprise that the healthcare setting contains many germs – from interacting with patients and their families or touching various surfaces. Everyone knows that improving hand hygiene is the most important factor in reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that healthcare providers may need to wash their hands up to 100 times per 12-hour shift.1 Simply put, hand hygiene can save lives. Join us for an Advisor Live® webinar where experts will discuss data showing how an increase in hand hygiene led to a 60 percent reduction in HAIs in 10 hospitals through the use of technology that reminds clinicians to clean their hands. Viewers will learn about: - Competency-based training for hand hygiene. - New technology for monitoring nurse rounding, shift fatigue, contact and exposure tracing, workflow inefficiencies, and even how often patients in isolation are visited as compared to normal patients. - Where to find additional hand hygiene resources.
