Webinars | Hand Washing for Healthcare Providers

Hand Washing for Healthcare Providers

A Critical Factor in Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI)

Presented by Joyce Jeffries

The Joint Commission reports that caregivers on average wash their hands less than 50% of the time when moving from patient to patient, a leading factor in Healthcare Associated Infection (AHI). One out of 136 patients become seriously ill as a result of acquiring a HAI resulting in two million cases a year.

These infections often lead to more serious illness, prolong hospital stays, induce long-term disability and contribute to unnecessary patient deaths. They inflict unexpected high costs on patients and their families and lead to a massive additional financial burden on the healthcare system...as high as $45 billion. The benefits of prevention range from $5.7 - $31 billion.

Improper hand washing by hospital personnel can impact patients at every point of care - doctors, nurses, food service staff, housekeepers, chaplains, technicians and therapists.

This webinar identifies the main causes of non-compliance with handwashing protocols and offers proven, practical solutions for you to implement house-wide.
