Hi all,
In SP/CSSD we randomly monitoring hand hygiene using ATP. We believe it’s the level of cleanliness that is important to us ( patients), we know that the moments are not applicable to CSSD/SP. Below is a study on why we (CSSD/SP) need to do it, it is a classic example of process improvement based on research. Hopefully being part of IC, we could start tabling some discussions for this HH monitoring practice in CSSD.

Dear All,
There was a debate in the UK parliament, Westminster Hall on 15/5/2018 in relation to hand hygiene compliance.
The parliament was told that actual hand hygiene compliance is only 18% – 44% in the UK and that direct observation is grossly overestimating HH compliance rates (Hawthorn effect).
The discussion has implications for direct observation of hand hygiene compliance programs in Australian healthcare settings.
It is time to review our direct observation HH compliance strategies and the significant infection control resources committed to such programs across Australia.
Regards
