CDC launches campaign to improve hand-hygiene compliance

The 'Clean Hands Count' campaign promotes compliance by addressing myths about hand hygiene


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched a new campaign to promote good hand-hygiene habits for healthcare professionals and patients, according to an article on the Fierce Healthcare website.

The "Clean Hands Count" campaign promotes compliance by addressing myths about hand hygiene and encourages patients to ask healthcare providers to wash their hands before treatment.

"We know that patients can feel hesitant to speak up, but they are important members of the healthcare team and should expect clean hands from providers," Arjun Srinivasan, M.D., CDC's associate director for healthcare-associated infection prevention programs.

The CDC is offering a variety of promotional materials for both professionals and patients online, including fact sheets and brochures, to help spread the "Clean Hands Count" message.
