Enhancing hand hygiene compliance in healthcare settings: a long time intervention study
The continuous application of the PDCA cycle and targeted interventions significantly improved hand hygiene compliance and reduced HAIs. The study emphasized the importance of ongoing monitoring, feedback, and corrective actions. It also highlighted the need for improving the supply and quality of hand hygiene consumables, enhancing education and supervision, and establishing incentive mechanisms to promote hand hygiene compliance. Despite limitations such as potential overestimation of actual hand hygiene consumables usage, the use of intelligent dispensers with identity recognition is recommended for more accurate data capture in future efforts.
