Hand Hygiene
Hand Hygiene is the single most
effective intervention to reduce the
cross transmission of healthcare
associated infections
![Page 7: PATIENT SAFETY STARTS WITH ME! Baylor Health Care System Hand Hygiene Initiative 2008 - 2010 Irving Prengler, M.D., M.B.A. Chief Medical Officer Baylor](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e155503460f94afff30/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Hand Hygiene
Why Measure Hand Hygiene?• Hands are the most common single source of
HAI’s• Nationally, compliance for handwashing for
HCW’s is only 40-60%• Hand hygiene reduces transmission of
infections by HCW’s• Many quality improvement and consumer
groups are demanding better performance from hospitals
