My suggestions: Make hand hygiene a performance indicator essential for training progress (junior doctors) or quality of care/bonus payments (senior doctors). Without a minimum score in hand hygiene compliance – no career advancement or bonus! It seems it has to hurt for people to really comply, in particular when a culture of hand hygiene is not well established… Obviously, you will need support and endorsement of any such policy from senior management!

Dear All,

Has anyone attempted to write or have in place a policy or procedure for hand hygiene non-compliance?
Does anyone have a management plan for managing this issue?
Any suggestions anyone. I have been asked to write one.
I have looked at ‘disciplinary procedure’ and accreditation guidelines for medical officers as a starting point.

Subject: Re: Traffic light system for antimicrobials

Hi,

We have one that we use for our antimicrobial stewardship program (Green = freely prescribable; Yellow = computer approval; Red = call ID). We like to joke about Red that “if you can’t spell it, you can’t have it” as it includes the mostly unfamiliar antibiotics. Our junior staff say that Yellow is “all the good stuff”.

If anyone would like it as a PDF then I am happy to send it.

Hi,

Can anyone direct me to the “traffic light” chart used for prescribing antimicrobials. I have one from the UK but would prefer one from Australia.

Thank you,
