Achieve better hand hygiene practices with an improvement strategy
The World Health Organization has identified 5 key elements to focus on when improving infection prevention and control in a healthcare facility. All 5 areas should be considered in order for you to be successful and result in behavioural change.
1. Build it
System change – Make sure you have the right infrastructure, equipment and supplies in place.
2. Teach it
Training and education – Does your facility have training, trainers and the right equipment?
3. Check it
Monitoring and feedback – Do you have effective monitoring and feedback in place?
4. Sell it
Reminders and communications – How are you promoting hand hygiene in your facility?
