Weekly poll: Hand hygiene compliance rates
Hand hygiene is a basic, but never ending effort in healthcare that often befuddles even the most inventive IP or safety officer. Some have found incentives that work such as cash incentives, gift certificates, patient education, videos, and even games.
Regardless of how you motivate employees to comply with appropriate handwashing guidelines, tracking hand hygiene is the best way to assess your facility’s compliance.
In the last year, how have your compliance rates fared?
You can also find a number of free hand hygiene downloads, including a Hand Hygiene Data Collection sheet, on the Tools page.

OSHA Healthcare Advisor Poll
The OSHA Healthcare Advisor Poll is our weekly questionnaire that is updated every Monday. It is a great opportunity for you to let us know what is going on at your facility, while also getting a look at what your peers have to say. Every week we will post a new question related to healthcare safety. As always, if you have any burning questions of your own, post them in the comments section below and it could become a featured poll question.
