    Good morning,
    We have been asked if it is feasible to provide more specific data for our Medical staff’s compliance with hand hygiene.
    If anyone does distinguish between different groups (Medical,Surgical,Oncology etc) and /or seniority of staff w would welcome your input.
    Many thanks

    Hi Jenny,

    We trialled separating our data for medicine as well between General, Ortho and Medicine. I created additional ‘Local’ HCW codes for auditing. The local data was a good snapshot to report back to departmental heads however, I discovered when it came to reporting at the end of the Audit Period that the local data didn’t add up to the overall Medical data, so I had to be very careful reproducing data that was apples for apples. This was especially problematic for anyone else access the data from HHA because they would pull ‘Medical Officers’ data which was different to the ‘local’ HCW group data I had created (which was access through a more convoluted process in snapshot reports (HHA)…in the end it became too difficult to manage, so I deleted the local HCW groups from the database.

    I do have hand hygiene auditors in specific wards that collect their own local data between different groups of medical officers and present this at their own departmental meetings. This data is over and above routine auditing where an auditor external to the department has audited.

    Kind Regards
    Kirrily

    HI Jenny,

    I can’t add any details to the conversation re coding for HPs but this may
    be of interest. This article appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald in June
    last year in both online & print versions. I put the printed version in a
    slide for when I give IPC talks to GPs & nurses in primary health care
    network education sessions. It always generates lots of discussion.

    Hi,

    This US paper describes a very different approach to hand hygiene among physicians, using mindfulness techniques.

    Hi Kirrily,
    HHA would like to encourage anyone having difficulties with reporting in HHCApp to please get in touch with us at hha@austin.org.au rather than choosing not to use this functionality. Many organisations use local HCW codes and find the reporting really helpful but there is potential for using it incorrectly if a user doesn’t use the reporting function regularly (it is like anything IT – if you don’t use it every day it can be easy to get the wrong information). Alternatively, if there IS a problem with how the data is being reported (which does happen on occasion) we (HHA staff) need to be advised so we can have the error corrected.
    Please feel free to make contact with us if you require further support.

    Hi Sally,

    Fair comment. I will forward you an example of the discrepancy in data to trouble shoot.

    I’m not going to lie, I just didn’t have the time at the time to work through it when I first discovered it. We still use local HCW codes to separate out the domestics successfully, however we were able to inactivate the Domestic Parent Group because the groups were grouped with defined line management.

    However we could not inactivate the Medical Practitioner parent group because we would have to have had too many medical practitioner groups and too difficult for auditors to know which group they belonged to outside of the obvious wards and I think this caused the discrepancy in data. I’d be very interested hearing from other facilities that have separated medical practitioner HCW Codes and how they manage it.

    We get tremendous pushback from some of the medical Heads of Departments about their dislike and disagreement of the auditing process and I did not want to give them any further reason to discredit the auditing process, by accidently providing them with discrepancy in data.

    Kind Regards
    Kirrily

    Central Australia Health Service is a Smoke Free Workplace

    Good morning,
    We have been asked if it is feasible to provide more specific data for our Medical staff’s compliance with hand hygiene.
    If anyone does distinguish between different groups (Medical,Surgical,Oncology etc) and /or seniority of staff w would welcome your input.
    Many thanks
    Jenny Breen
