The impact of sink location on hand-washing compliance after contact with patients with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is poorly understood, according to a study posted on the BioMed Central website.
The study was conducted to determine the best location of hand-wash sinks available to healthcare workers.
Researchers found an association between the location of hand-wash sinks and workers compliance with hand washing after caring for patients with CDI.
There is a need to identify mitigating strategies to continue to improve patient safety, the research suggested.
