With little guidance, finding the right hand-hygiene products can be daunting, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control & Clinical Quality website.
A recent article in the American Journal of Infection Control outlines key steps to a successful hand-hygiene product switch. They include:

• Mapping out dispenser locations. A multidisciplinary approach, involving front-line staff was recommended.
