Long-Term Care,
Hand Hygiene Compliance Measurement System
Hand hygiene is the most important measure to prevent spread of infection. It is also the simplest, most effective method for preventing outbreaks.
Ecolab introduced electronic compliance measurement to give Long-Term Care facilities accurate data and visibility to reach and sustain improved compliance levels by:
- Creating a resident zone around the area such as a bed, using a sensor to capture hand hygiene opportunities.
- Accurately collecting hand hygiene events through soap and gel dispensers.
- Gently nudging staff to perform hand hygiene.
- Providing actionable insights via online portal, available 24/7
- Reduce risk & financial impact of outbreaks
- Create a cleaner, safer environment & reduce staff absenteeism *
- Optimise occupancy Levels
- Increase staff, resident and resident family satisfaction
