Measurement
Measuring Hand Hygiene Adherence: Overcoming the Challenges
The Joint Commission is releasing “Measuring Hand Hygiene Adherence: Overcoming the Challenges,” to help health care organizations target their efforts in measuring hand hygiene performance. The monograph is designed to address "everything you ever wanted to know about hand hygiene measurement but were afraid to ask."
CDC-WHO partnership to Assess Hand Hygiene Infrastructure at Healthcare Facilities
The CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) are committed to improving hand hygiene in healthcare facilities. An important aspect of this effort is facility self-assessments. Healthcare facilities can track their progress in hand hygiene promotion, plan improvements and set goals for hand hygiene improvement and sustainability through the use of the WHO Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework.
