Hand-hygiene video tracks healthcare workers' hands

Video tracks all of the people and surfaces healthcare personnel touch in one day


A hand-hygiene video from the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., won the sixth annual Film Festival at the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology conference, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.

The video, titled "Stop the Spread of Infection: It's in Our Hands," tracks all of the people and surfaces healthcare personnel touch in one day, from the hand's point of view. 

It beat Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's hand hygiene video parodying Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" and a video from Children's Hospital Colorado parodying the song "Watch Me."

See the video.
