SOLUTION OVERVIEW Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring Increase compliance rates to reduce risk of healthcare-associated infections ,1eroScout9 Solution Benefits • Enhances patient experience and staff productivity by automating monitoring and eliminating manual observation • Delivers comprehensive and reliable data—driving hand hygiene accountability to the unit and caregiver level • Provides visual analytics that enable a better understanding of compliance and help identify educational opportunities • Ultimately reduces likelihood of healthcare-associated infections Challenges From the World Health Organization (WHO) to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), governing bodies around the world have sent healthcare providers a clear message: Clean hands save lives. Hand hygiene among clinicians plays a crucial role in reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)—which claim the lives of about 100,000 patients each year in the United States alone. By some estimates, failure to comply with simple handwashing procedures contributes to about half of those deaths. To combat the problem, the Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) 7 states, “An organization should assess its compliance with the CDC and/or WHO guidelines through a comprehensive program that provides a hand hygiene policy, fosters a culture of hand hygiene, and monitors compliance and provides feedback”.

The solution automatically detects whether staff members wash their hands as they enter and exit patient rooms. In addition to capturing a wealth of reliable, objective data, it provides powerful visual analytics. These dashboards empower facilities to track and continually improve compliance rates— targeting staff education and training where it will have the greatest impac

The heart of the solution is the STANLEY Healthcare MobileView® Platform. Using a hospital’s existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, the solution combines Wi-Fi badges worn by caregivers, exciters embedded in soap, gel and foam dispensers, and exciters in patient rooms. These components work in concert to automatically capture data about hand hygiene compliance. No human observation. No manual data entry. No impact on care delivery or patient experience. Unlike manual monitoring, STANLEY Healthcare’s Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring delivers powerful visual analytics— facilitating in-depth analysis...
