    HI Carien,

    In our private dialysis clinics we have
    an IPC Champion (RN) who is given equivalent to one day non-clinical time
    per month, to complete all the IPC audits and education including hand
    hygiene auditing.


    Before that we were not getting the
    audits done as there was no time spare during a shift and the times hand
    hygiene audits should be done was the busy times when all staff were doing
    clinical work.


    With best regards
    Carolyn Chenoweth

    Hand Hygiene
    Program


    Good afternoon,

     

    Im seeking advice from my colleagues
    in the Private Health sector as to how you run an effective hand hygiene
    program.  Im specifically referring to the challenges related to
    auditing where there are no hours allocated for auditing and in a climate
    of reduced clinical hours therefore making it even harder to fit auditing
    in with a very high workload for staff in clinical areas.


     

    Kind regards,

    Carien
