Effectiveness of Multimodal Information Technology-enhanced Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy on Healthcare-associated Infections in Nursing Homes
Effectiveness of Multimodal Information Technology-enhanced Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy on Healthcare-associated Infections in Nursing Homes
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal hand hygiene improvement strategy, enhanced with information technology (IT), in reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in nursing homes. The goal is to improve infection prevention practices and promote a safer environment for older adults living in long-term care facilities.
Hand hygiene is a key strategy for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), yet compliance among healthcare workers remains suboptimal due to knowledge gaps, limited resources, unfamiliarity with procedures, and poor adherence. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an IT-enhanced multimodal hand hygiene intervention in reducing HAIs within nursing homes, thereby improving infection control practices and promoting a safer environment for older adults in long-term care settings.
