Evaluation of Body-worn Multimodal Hand Hygiene System. Impact on Health-Care Associated Infections

Real Time Deployment of Multimodal Personal Dispenser Hand Hygiene System in a Multidisciplinary Intensive Care Unit.

Evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal hand hygiene system in the intensive care unit environment and evaluate any impact on health care associated infections.

Deploy and utilize a novel body worn hand hygiene system that incorporates provider and group specific feedback allowing hand hygiene to occur directly within the patient environment. We hypothesize that by improving provider hand hygiene we will reduce health-care associated infection rates.
