Simplicity: Two Hands at a Time
After decades of different efforts to reduce the HAI problem, even the best rated hospitals continue to rely on visual (or manual) observation methods to monitor hand-hygiene compliance. As a result of such small sample size reporting method, published compliance rates are a crude and inaccurate estimate of real compliance. Further, the suggestion that patients should, or would ask a healthcare worker the question of, “Have you sanitized your hands?” places the burden in the wrong place and is not a viable solution.
The BIOVIGIL system takes a simplified approach – an approach that removes all anxiety and questions between patient and caregiver. It’s a simple, comprehensive solution that involves 4 easy steps: Remind, Record, Reassure and Report.
