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:
• Evaluating options according to quality, safety, serviceability, standardization, cost, availability of touch-free dispensers and capability of dispensers to interact with electronic hand-hygiene compliance monitoring
• Mapping out dispenser locations. A multidisciplinary approach, involving front-line staff was recommended.
