Hand Hygiene Compliance (HHC)

The single most common way of transferring health care associated infection (HAI's) in health care settings is on the hands of health care providers. Health care providers move from patient to patient and room to room while providing care and working in the patient environment.

Proper hygiene will protect patients and providers and will reduce the spread of infections and the associated treatment costs, reduce hospital lengths of stay and readmission, reduce wait times and prevent deaths.
