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 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

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
