    Jessica, Your poster is so nicely presented. I like how you put it together. Hand hygiene sure is proven to reduce the rate of infections as demonstrated in your graph you included. I don’t really understand how anyone could not wash their hands in an acute care hospital setting.

    This is a very important topic to review. It’s good to know from your poster that studies have shown a decrease in hospital acquired infections after implementation of hand hygiene program. I like how you relate your topic to Florence Nightingale’s theory. Hand hygiene protects both the patients and the healthcare staff.

    Very good topic. This has proven to be so effective in preventing hospital acquired infections. Inside and Outside the hospital setting, people need to realize how important hand hygiene is for everyone in this world. It protects us all.

    Great topic and good presentation of the information. It’s amazing how something so simple can make the difference on decreasing infections and saving lives, as presented in your presentation. We also have observers, and it’s amazing how low some of the scores are at times. However, there i also the understanding in the policy that if you walk in to a room with something in your hands or leave with something in your hands (like a tray) it is not expected that you foam in until your hands are free. Sometimes I wonder if the “secret shoppers” know that policy….? Thanks for sharing this information.

    Great presentation on an important topic. We have a random person on our unit each year that is assigned the task of watching and documenting compliance with foaming in and out for all staff (nurses, providers, ect). A monthly report is then put out with how well are unit is doing with hand hygiene.
