JCAHO Patient Safety: Automated hospital hand hygiene monitoring technology
Reducing the risk of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) has become a national initiative for patient safety. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has come up with guidelines for proper hand-hygiene in an effort to monitor compliance and quality. The CDC infection control hand washing guidelines observation tool is being used to help healthcare organizations understand where they need to improve their processes. With an automated system in place, tracking staff compliance and identifying areas for improvement can be made simple.

CDC Healthcare Associated Infection Control related facts:
Consider these facts to put the scope of the HAI problem and the potential ROI of installing a hand hygiene observation tool solution in your hospital setting:
- According to CDC, Healthcare Associated Infections are a top 10 leading cause of death in America -- killing about 100,000 people a year and infecting about 2 million (CDC.gov).
- HAIs cost hospitals about $45 billion annually in direct costs of care alone.
- Each HAI costs an average of $15,275.
- On average 4.5 HAIs occur for every 100 hospital admissions.
- Up to 70 percent of cases are preventable through proper hand-hygiene practices.
Improve Patient Safety and Reduce HealthCare Associated Infections through Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology
A hospital with 50,000 annual admissions stands to reduce their direct HAI costs of about $34,368,750 through the use of an electronic observation tool. This doesn't factor in patient safety liability and other related costs.
